Umm, I need some help w our friend that's gone a bit too far...

To make a long story short (am happy to make it longer if need be) our friend broke up with her ex a few years ago in a not so nice way. She's remained friends w her ex & often goes over to his house as he n his bro live in Perth (from nz). My dear called me the other day and told me she's been banned from thier house because she put bleach in her ex's new gf's tampons, shampoo bottles, soap etc. I'm not kidding about this....

We've helped our friend quite a bit over the last few years & know she's on depression meds etc...

What do we do?

Help!

This is serious. Besides the fact that it could be a legal matter, if the ex pursues it, she needs help. Who does she see for her depression? She needs a psych eval pronto. Does she have family members that you could enlist to help?
This is only my humble clinical counseling intern advice...., but CC, again this is serious. PM me if you want.

CC--PM Crankin for sure. She knows what she's talking about. That's serious, bordering on criminal. Who knows what else she might do. Get some professional advice pronto.

That's serious, bordering on criminal.

I'm pretty sure it is criminal. Imagine washing your face with bleach and getting it in your eyes.

What's next if nobody stops her?- bleach (or worse) in soda or water bottles?...

This is a random whine, but it is cycling related.
My exchange student son, arranged for us to buy team gear from his personal training/coaching company. I was very excited to have it arrive. DH went over with him many times, I wear an x small woman's size... he said, no worry, yes the clothes are for women.
What I got were men's size small bibs, with a woman's chamois inserted in the men's bibs and a men's size small jersey, with tons of elastic on the bottom.
I guess this is a good statement on how few women in Europe ride for fitness, although he should have known better, since he lives in Colorado most of the year, now. I called my son and told him the gear would fit him perfectly (he's a men's small), if he didn't mind the "women's chamois."

I feel your pain..... our team gear is mostly men's sizing. (well - they have women's sizing but we can't offer both because we wouldn't make the minimums.... I think our shorts, though not bibs, are womens) Thankfully they go smaller than a plain small on the most important items, but even the xxs size is a little large on me. I am totally locked out of some things. All the long sleeve things (shirts - jackets - skinsuits) only go to small and are *huge*
