re: As a man it can be really hard to admit without looking weak

Have some fun with it dude.

Go find a cop squatting outside the local watering hole this fine weekend, him trying to catch some 0.081 driver and all.

Show him the texts and send him off to pick her up on a safety check/mental evaluation 72 hours in chemical or physical restraints. That's what some psych intern is itching for.

Let her 'splain herseff to the parish employees from now on 'stead of you.
