It wasn't me saying she wanted happy, it was her---since I've known her for
twenty years, and she's always been in "crisis", I couldn't see a way out of
it that easily (meaning the medication).

As to the earlier e-mail - no, that isn't my only criteria for friendships,
male or female, but at this point in my life it is too hard to get involved
with someone who is seriously depressed. I am still friends with all of
these people, but unwilling to be the "mother" that they thought I could be
to them.

I don't take any of it lightly, having a son that tried to commit suicide,
and was brought back to his "normal" way of life by the help of drugs.

As much as I love the e-mail dialogue often many parts of the story go by the
unspoken.
