i'll try to keep this short.
we just moved away from friends and family for my husbands new job. i befriended one of his colleagues wife. during one of her visits we started talking about ADD. her child is taking meds for this. my son's doctor wanted to put him on them as well. i refused and treat his condition without meds. he is doing very well. she told me that her doctor told her that 80% of kids need this medication. i disagreed. i made sure to let her know that obviously it was the right thing to do in her case, i just don't believe that every kid who is curious when they hear a firetruck and want to see it have ADD and need meds. she started screaming, would not let me finish a sentence and called me names. she then left my house, very dramatically. i wrote her a txtmsg saying that i don't know what just happened and asked why this is such a sore subject. no answer. now, a week later she texted me to find out if we are still coming on easter. i told her that i don't think ignoring what happened is good in a friendship. she said there is nothing to talk about, i should get over it. she is very passive aggressive and immature and i do not want friends like that. i will not be bullied and i don't like drama. we are not going to spend easter with them. i'm wondering now if this is going to cause tension between my husband and hers at the workplace and if there is anything i can do to lessen that?
