When being a friend to someone starts to adversely affect your own life significantly for whatever reason I think this is when you have to call a halt. |
I know someone who did that to me last year. She has mental issues, and she became a leech, a parasite! Every damn time she called or came over, she wanted favors. And she was also asking me for money for, and wanted me to buy were some nips, cigarettes
and scratch tickets.
I paid her cable bill for her one month because the service was turned off. And the very next month, she wanted me to pay it again because it got shut off again!! I had to tell her no. Then she just kept on asking for money for laundry detergent, soap, bleach and room deodorizer!
It just went on and on. And while her boyfriend was visiting me, she was calling here every 10 minutes or so! Both of them drank like a fish. I tried to help him get off alcohol and even that turned out to be a waste of time. So I cut them both off. They were just too damn toxic!!
She was on crack. A crack monster. They'd start drinking as soon as the package store opened. By late afternoon they were both wasted!! Then they had to sleep it off, but when they did that, they'd wake up and start all over again!! They both have mental
issues.
But the bottom line is that I had to cut them loose because they were bringing me DOWN, DOWN DOWN!! Put simply, they basically were 100% pure bums!! Stemmers!
