Every time we argued about his addiction, his mother would step in to support him
And not in a positive way. She would basically trash talk me for not being fine with his destructive life style, enabling him. She trapped him into a victim complex. It is always someone else's fault. Get wasted and forget about it.
He used to be my best friend. Now I am not sure why I even read his messages. Can't even get over myself to help when he is suicidal because there is too much painful history between us.
Unsure why his mother wants to start texting me. We have never gotten along. He claims she wants to because I am important which is just bizarre , not once did she inquire about my where about in the world after I left Canada or how I am doing. Nothing was said to suggest otherwise for at least two years.
I said I am not convinced it is true. Somehow that is offensive and I shouldn't be deciding what is/who is important to people.
It's hard not to decide knowing what they say about you behind your back, isn't it? Everyone likes to pretend not to pay attention to it. It is the acceptable wisdom now. But gossip does help you decide who has your best interest at mind and who is just there to watch you fail so they can make themselves feel better. It is good entertainment, right?
