Trying to cut it short - acquaintance I first met 12 years ago, she moved away, lost contact, met her in the street a wee while ago, gave her my number etc....
Her life is a mess. Too much detail would be identifying, but essentially it's a mess, mostly not of her doing....
She phoned tonight when I was dropping my youngest at an activity - she needed a place to stay tonight until she can get to the council offices first thing tomorrow.
I feel so upset as I had to turn her down. My DH is autistic and has social phobia - he simply couldn't have coped if I had brought a stranger home to stay overnight no matter how in need she was.
I had to turn her down - she was in tears and obviously desperate for a place to spend the night. I offered her sleeping bag/air bed etc if she can find somewhere to go but I feel helpless as I couldn't help her.
My DH is supposed to be away with work this week and if he had been away she could have come, but as he is here I honestly had no choice.
I don't have the money to pay for her to have a night in a b&b or anything, and she clearly doesn't have the money either.
