Sweetheart, t'ain't nothin' wrong with venting. If you bottle it up inside you, it will kill you... It is actually taking action on the venting--like if you felt like killing someone, then you actually do it kinna thing--that is the problem. But if you don't vent or at least let off some steam to get it all out into the open, then whatever is causing you the trauma has triumphed...
The flip side of the coin is don't let some dysfunctional unmedicated delusional schizophrenic psychotic neurotic mental patient get to you to the point that you actually will take your time to utter your breath to set him or her correct...
Right now, I am dealing with someone like that... And I have to use all my Spiritual powers to make sure that I smile, count to 10, try to understand from the delusional perspective and move on--according to WebMD... Because ultimately, who will be the person driven most insane??? Not the unmedicated person...
You've all you've got and this life ain't a dress rehearsal--so take care of yourself... Always...

It's like I KNOW but...somethings are better left alone. I'm not one to buddy up with someone who is wack to me more than once, but when it's a close circle of friends...things get complicated.
10 years from now--or even 10 days from today, I will be over it. She, though, will have to deal with the reality of her wackness forever as it continues to haunt her...this I already know.
Also--about the venting thing---I don't vent just to vent, usually, and that's something I should do more of. Why I don't vent? My philosophy is and always has been "So what am I going to DO?" Basically, a whole lotta talk doesn't get the situation taken care of. Dealing with the situation does. With some folks---it just aint that easy. One would think that it would be, but it's not, in real life...
I'm not making excuses; I'm just gone let this one ALONE and wait until May 13th...

PS--No, my 'man' would never be that weak. He would know better...
