I've come full circle #26

[Yoyowife]

I guess all of us have had friends that weren't healthy for us. I had one for years that was always unhappy about something. Even when my mother was dying of cancer, she still had worse problems than mine. I guess the clincher was at my mother's funeral. We had the funeral in the city we lived in, but her burial was 60 miles away in the town she grew up in, so we were driving our own car. My girls were 4 and 7. My "friend" had the nerve to ask me if her 6 year old daughter could ride with my H, girls, and me because their air conditioner was out. Here was the most devastating day of my life and she was asking me to babysit her 6 year old daughter. My H told her we didn't have room because another one of my friends was riding with us to help me with the girls. Needless to say our friendship didn't last much longer. I can honesly say I have never regretted ending that friendship.

Kat, you do not have to be around her to let her "drain" you. You need people who are there for you!
