About the friend, I've had a few friends like that too. One stole from me and other stuff, and I still couldn't bear to cut off the friendship. I did eventually kind of contact her less & less and it died a natural slow death though. We were friends for years and years though, at least I was a friend to her. I think I'm the kind of person that hates to give up Rs even when I obviously should. Maybe you're like that too???
