I think if I gave her AA literature she will shoot me. I don't know why I have become the focus of her agression but I have. I did begin to distance myself from her at work (we were work buddies) because she was loudly swearing about her effing boss and I can't be associated with that type of behavior. I didn't want someone seeing her behavior and thinking that I condoned her recent behavioral changes in the office. I care for her, yet at the same time have to protect my job and income. I would also like to see that she gets help but realize that there is little that I can do. She has to help herself. She is becoming increasingly hostile towards me and I know I should go to management about it but ... I don't want to feel responsible if she loses her job. Unfortunately, it is a small office and there are times when I have to discuss office related issues. She looks like she is ready to explode every time I am near her.
