[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm shocked at the number of people that give up on friendships here.  I mean, you can choose not make new crazy friends, but I would never give up on a friend I've had since childhood.  That's just as bad a character flaw as having an affair in my book. If your friend is really hurting and damaged and you were really her friend then I would try to help.  [/quote]

I disagree.  I tried to be a "good friend" to a self-destructive person like this for 2 years, and it finally got the point where I dreaded her calls, never wanted to go out with her, and she really was just using me for a sounding board or a wing-man for going out.  She stopped caring for her kids' welfare, and will likely lose them in her divorce to an ex who is a perfectly awful man, but takes better care of their basic needs (uh, food?  clothing?) than she did.  It got to the point where it made my stomach hurt to be so close to a person totally off the rails, and who didn't think she had a problem.  I'm sure she thinks I'm a bitch now, but I need less drama in my life as a single mom, not more.

Cut your losses, OP, and circle the wagons around your own family.[/quote]
