So as I try on a new phase of things, choosing to have a room mate again and laying plans to go back to school, I came to a conclusion about some people are phased out of my life and why some are not let back in. Basically put Toxic Friendships.
I've recently cut ties with a friend of a couple of years because she was the type of person that when life was bad she would bring you down with her and when her life was good she would rub it in your face every chance she gets. She mainly did it with relationships and being single, and not in a real relationship in a very long time, it will wear you to the bone very quickly. She is also in love with falling love to the point this horrible roller coaster ride was the ultimate initial breakdown of our firendship "We're in love! I will never love again... WE'RE In love! I will never love again...." Honestly if it's hard for your friends to put up with what sort of model are you for your son?
Even further back I kicked my long term tag along of 2-3 years away because her bragging about money finally did me in. I had helped bring her out of her shell when I first met her about 6 years ago and now I see her occasionally at faire where she glares and walks away.
Now I am watching my roomie go through a very toxic "friendship" I don't really know how to convey to him that he should just cut all ties. He honestly isn't going to heal until he does. I've done my best by requesting that she be banned from the house and he agreed. It's hard to watch him being the kicked/run over by a lawnmower puppy that keeps returning to lick the hand that harms him. I'm not really sure what to do.
