Reply #6: Yes, I called her.

[Contrary1]

She had been drinking, and when she told me it was OK to let her go, she meant as a friend. She realizes that she is not the person she used to be, and was offering me an exit.

That isn't going to happen. Once a person is a friend, they are stuck with me. She said she would call me tomorrow.

I have tried to get her out and about, but she feels guilty because I pick up the tab all the time.

I just feel so bad for her. Before all this came down, she was so generous with everyone she knew. Now, she cannot even afford to buy gifts for her grandchildren. She has made her share of mistakes (mostly financial) but really is a lovely person.

So, when I talk with her tomorrow, I will invite her for a sleepover. We always have a good time when she does that, and maybe we can brainstorm some sort of solution for her.

Thanks. :pals:
