JUST VENTING
Okay so this probably isn't the most normal type of post for this app but I honestly just want to vent and get some advice or just other peoples thoughts on this... okay so I have a friend, I'm gonna call her Kate just so I'm not putting her on blast by her actual name. We used to be VERY close in high school, best friends. She was 2 years ahead of me and she started doing sketchy Shit so I stopped hanging out with her, and after she graduated we drifted apart even more to the point where we lived to completely different lives. My senior year she got pregnant and had a baby. I'm pretty sure I congratulated her but other than that, we didn't talk. I know it was none of my business at this point but as soon as I heard that she was having a kid, I was immediately worried for that child. Kate was, and never has, been the type of person to take initiative in her life. She was 19/20 years old without a drivers license, no job. Her parents would push and push for her to spread her wings and she just wouldn't. And that may sound normal to some of y'all but in our state the legal driving age is 16 (15 with a permit) and almost every teenager has a job (unless they're a little more fortunate than the middle class here). But I thought to myself, maybe this will be the thing that really makes her step up. I really did hope that she would do good for herself and her child. I was wrong. Summer of 2016 we started hanging out again and the first time we hung out, everything was cool. I noticed that she was a little manipulative, like she always has been, but I figured eh what the hell. I won't let her fool me. But as we hung out, more and more she was passively getting me to spend money on her. And the more it happened, the more I knew how to recognize the manipulation and I stopped hanging out with her. I would avoid her. Because she wouldn't out right ask me for anything, she would almost trick me into giving it to her or she would want me to give it to her without her having to ask. One night we hung out, she was like omg I want some food let's go get Waffle House. So me, thinking she has her own effing money because at this point she has a child she needs to support, we go to Waffle House. Who ends up with the bill? Me. And the next thing I know she's like, "man I really want some smokes" and I'm like you can bum off me if you want. And she's like, "hmm I just really want my own but I don't have the money right now" so now I'm in an awkward situation and I don't know what to say. So I'm asking her about jobs and what not and this girl flat out tells me, "I don't need a job, I watch my daughter all day and she gets what she needs through WIC" and I looked at her like she had three eyes. She has people that will watch her daughter for her. She just doesn't want to work because she wants other people to support her. She didn't even have her drivers license Back in the day at 19/20, now fast forward and she 22 and STILL DOESNT HAVE IT. And what's shitty is that the next time we hung out she's telling me that she has been pawning stuff in her house to buy her daughter formula and other shit. Like girl get the fuck up and get a job FOR YOUR CHILD. Like what???? But that isn't where it ends. This girl literally calls me and I don't answer because I'm working and at this point the only reason she wants me in her life is because I'm a supply of cigarettes and baby formula. So she texts me and says "dude answer your fucking phone". I don't answer and she says "ANSWER YOUR FUCKING PHONE" and I text her back and I'm like sorry I was at work what's up. She goes, "***** is out of baby formula and I don't know what to do, I just need some cash". I said, ask your mom. She said, my mom won't give me any. I said, why won't she? She goes, idk she's a bitch. Like she literally had no reason as to why her mom wouldn't give her cash so I thought she was lying (probably was). And after that, I stopped replying to her. I stopped hanging out with her, I went on with my life. To this DAY, She STILL snap chats me and bitches and moans about how her life sucks and she has no life, and I'm about to flip my SHIT on her because she has every OPPORTUNITY to get on with her life and do better for her and her daughter and not be a fucking leech, she just won't do it. I just don't know if I should cut ties completely (block her on social media/phone) or just keep keeping my distance, or start hanging out with her again out of pity....
