My best friend of many years is like a sister at heart to me. The last few years our friendship went down for a period of time. My depression was a lot to deal with and my friend nearly lost her life over booze a few times now. She has expressed that im like a project to her. Truth is, she has become too pushy for me and that i can’t handle it anymore. I was the fool in allowing her to push me around back then. I’ve since changed and am still working on my own issues. I love her like a sister still but its turning into regrets. Its harder trying to cut ties with her more so than any break ups I’ve had with ex partners. I’m feeling more sane now than i have in a while and shes trying to come around again now too. I’m desperate for advice on how to cut ties without falling for the guilt trips that are laid on me from her. Her reputation is that of a mooch and a manipulating drunk. Well she had to stop drinking not by choice though but mooch should be her middle name for that hasn’t changed any. Its one sob story after another with her and my sanity is at risk if i don’t stand my ground and be strong. Anyone with ideas please help. Thank u in advance even if u just read this mess i wrote.
