Betrayal of a Friend

Have you ever had a gut feeling about someone but ignored it?

I had a disabled friend that I felt tremendously sorry for. I helped her out every way I could and she took advantage of me big time. She had the money but refused to spend it to get help. I was not the only one she used.

As the pieces of her picture came out, I realized that not only was I used, played, manipulated and taken advantage of but it was much worse than I had imagined.

I ended the friendship 4 years ago. The final straw was that I knew when Trump was shutting down the country due to covid ahead of everybody. (our office manager's fiancee worked at Mar a Lago)

I called her and told her to prepare and she snickered. She hated Trump. She wasn't listening to the message, she turned it into an opportunity to bash Trump. it was the final straw for me.

She is a member of my church and I am really struggling with this. I sure don't have Christian thoughts.

There is a religious nut who keeps calling me to find stuff on the computer for him. He refuses to learn how to use a computer because he feels it is the devil. I cut him off and told him if he does not learn computer basics he will be cut off from the world in 5 years. He has no computer, smart phone, credit card, debit card or checking account. I stopped feeling sorry. Why should he learn when he can use someone?

@AtticEscapee this former friend was too cheap to get better internet. she was using dial up because she refused to pay for the better speed. nuts..people are nuts.
@akindheart There is a fine line between being helpful to someone and being manipulated into feeling responsible for someone. Helpful vs responsible.

@AtticEscapee THAT was the distinction. when she started ordering me around telling me I had to do something. that is when i drew the line
