I’m such a bad friend. A post-partum mommy, who’s been struggling with some anxiety and possible baby blues, basically dumped me by text today, saying our relationship was stressing her out. Rather than fighting for the friendship, or taking this as a bad sign that she’s isolating herself from support networks, I texted back “OK!” within a nano second, and now I feel like a massive millstone has been removed from around my neck. I had no idea how much her friendship was stressing ME out till she set me free 😃 ---

> [@digs](#): > > I LOVE the “Ok!” > > In fact, no one at work will know that I’ll be thinking of unfriending them when I reply to their whining with “Ok!” My Aunt has about had it up to here with my Mom’s terrible treatment of her, and now that my mother and I are no longer on speaking terms she is pretty much done with even faking the relationship. When my Mom came for a visit with my Grandma (who lives two doors down) she made herself sit through a couple holiday dinners with my Mom, basically just counting down the hours until my Mom left and I arrived (originally we were supposed to be there at the same time, but then we had this falling out and my Mom waited until the last possible moment to leave before she knew I was due to arrive, just to make things fun for everyone.) When I was finally there, and my mother arrived back home, she texted my Aunt something like, ‘‘I had such a wonderful time seeing you! Your garden is beautiful!’’ and some other such thing. My Aunt’s text response was: ok ---
