Ok, so DD2 has been very mentally unwell these past few months, she's been in hospital five times since the middle of June, which has been a nightmare, I'm a single parent and don't really have much support in anything, I just have to get on with it
My problem is, and I don't know if I'm being an ungrateful, selfish antisocial cow, but I have one friend who texts me every single day to ask how we are. Now it's lovely that she is concerned, and I get that, I really do, but I get very tired easily as I also have health issues. I always answer the texts, but she can start at say 1pm, and at 8pm she's still texting me, I just find it all a bit too much, sometimes I just want to sit, to read a book, watch to, or just have some simple quiet time to myself.
If I don't answer within 20 minutes I get a flurry of texts asking where I am, what am I doing, am I ok, and it's all just too much sometimes
I work part time, and if I say I'm off to work, there's always texts from her waiting for me at teabreak time
Am I just being a total cow here, but I don't want texts every single day although I do appreciate her concern, she's the kind that takes offence easily and will fly off the handle if I tell her not to text maybe quite so often
What should I do please?
