One of my close friends in high school remained a good friend of mine throughout college. We went to different schools, but we hung out together fairly often.

Upon my graduating, I was engaged to be married and he was living at home. He needed 5 years to complete his undergraduate degree. At one point, he and I had a challenging conversation about him needing to grow up. He was constantly whining about not having things in his life and would come to me to solve his problems. We patched everything up and he seemed to turn a corner.

After my son was born, I was living in a different city and he wanted to come visit me because he had business in the area. He never clarified when precisely he was going to be in town. When he arrived, he randomly called me and asked that I pick him up at the train station. I was at work. My wife was home with the baby.

I lit into him. I had had enough.

That's the last time we talked.

@JoeyFoxx Yeah. It sucks when you feel like you're being used, especially when it's done without remorse.

@Casheyane He wasn't really using me. He was just a child who refused to grow up.

He was an ok person, just lazy. I didn't have time for that kind of ball and chain in my life at the time. I needed to focus on my family.
