W called. The medical procedure left complications and she has to go back into dr. tomorrow. She doesn't want my help.
Her dad is in jail for workman's comp violations and W's stepmom found out about tons of lies he told her. W is crushed.
Then w tells me that her friend ron is coming over to help her feel better.
I say I feel like she's using me as an emotional tampon. W gets mad and conversation ends. I text that I'm sorry about her dad but "if there's no R it's not fair for me to get to hear all the problems and be reminded that that's all I get out of it. I want to be there for you but you don't. I feel I have to protect myself."
No reply.
Maybe I crossed a line but I don't want to hear the problems and be reminded that I'm not a "real" part of her life.
