In my experience.....

The drama queens go to those that will offer them respite...not solutions, or a plan of action.
Then right back to the drama they go.....

When I was young and stupid and full of drama...married to my first husband.....
I would call my mom all tearful and ask her to come and get me.

She did...the first time. With an expectation that I was DONE.

The second time...she refused to come and get me...but she offered me some other
ideas (which, of course...I didn't want to hear).
She kept telling me "you are not done....and until you are done....you have to figure it out. Coming home only brings the drama back into my house and then when he shows you ANY little morsel of attention....you are right back in it"

She set a boundry of keeping drama out of her house, but she didn't cut off communication. When I did call, the message was consistently the same.
"I'm here for you...when you decide to do something for yourself"
