My Oldest Friend’s Ex Husband…sorry It’ll Be Kind of Long but the Grammar Is Good?
Question by Melissa: My oldest friend’s ex husband…sorry it’ll be kind of long but the grammar is good?
I have a ‘friend’ that I have known for 24 years. She has always been kind of loopy. And didn’t have a great upbringing. About 10 or so years ago she developed an alcohol and pill problem. She has 3 daughters, two of which chose not to live with her and the youngest was sent to live near me with her father by social services. The youngest daughter is best friends with my daughter and we have always been her shelter from the storm (her mother).
Her father is a great guy. But, my alcoholic “friend” has lied over and over about this man she treated like dirt. He is not the person she says he is, she is projecting herself onto him. It isn’t a fresh divorce, they have been divorced for 9 years. And she still has only awful things to say about him.
My children and I have been spending time with dad and daughter and things have progressed beyond friendly with dad and I (I am divorced also). So, now I feel bad that this person I thought was my friend (but has proven to be an extreme taker and never a giver in our 20+ years of “friendship”) may feel horrified when she finds out.
I am to the point where I don’t even want to be her friend anymore. And, not because of the feelings about her ex, I felt like this for a while (I have been avoiding her calls for months).
So, do I just let it ride and take the happiness I deserve or run like wild fire? Why? How do I tell her? Should I even care what she thinks? GOSH! What have I done??!!
