My relative texted me, but now won't respond? ( details inside)

1 Answer

Answer :

She can’t be angry with you for pointing out the law, it’s not like you are saying that you are only willing to help her out for three months. Are you worried about her safety (is she so down in the dumps that she is a threat to herself for example)? If so, is there another relative you can contact that is closer to this person? If you don’t feel like she is in any danger then I would just wait for her to get back in touch. By offering to pay for her ticket you have gone above and beyond to help her and I feel she was rude to hang up on you after such a kind gesture. Is it possible that she is a bit of an attention seeker?
