Breaking up with a friend....

Camille

I am so nervous. So this girl I met a couple of years ago at my son's school, our boys were sort of best friends. And we got along well because we just went on about our kids, which was great. But going further into a friendship with her, I discovered that she is just not my scene. She was in a very bad relationship, abusive bf, so I supported and encourage her to leave him for her own good, and her childs. And she kept going back, and the leaving him, and sleeping around, and going back, and complaining how he is draining her, etc. So our relationship got quite deep and raw. I have been so supportive and always here for her to vent to. She finally broke free of this guy, but has since just been drinking, sleeping around, drunk calling me and inviting herself over with random strangers (Thankfully never follows through). I am just so tired of it. I know she is in pain, and has so many issues, but I can't help her anymore. It gives me such anxiety and I don't want her in my life anymore.

I have written a heart felt letter to her that I plan to send tonight. She is just in a different phase of her life than I am. I hardly drink, I am happily married, ttc number 2, and just have different interests now. She just wants to get drunk and hook up with ramdoms. And that's fine, go do that, but somewhere else....

I have moved to a different town, so I cant be there for her physically, but I know she has support there, her parents are right there and have been super supportive for her, she has help. So I won't be leaving her to fend for herself...

Any advice before I take the plunge?
