Sometimes you CAN'T dump them out of your life because they are family. My former sister-in-law used to hurt my feelings because I genuinely liked her, but she was a user. She had a substance abuse problem, and that is typical of drunks and druggies.

If a "friend" does that, I block their number after I realize what they are.
