I have a friend who i have known a few years now, she is living in.a different part of the country now but we are mainly in touch through email and the phone. She has anxiety about talking on the phone so we never do (which i empathise with).
Anyway she has been through a lot in her life but she seems really stuck in her past. She moans constantly to me about things and anything i suggest, she will just shoot down. I've suggested therapy as a way of helping but she refuses to go.
Her birthday is a few days before mine and every year it's the same thing with her moaning about how old she is ( she's 35) and going on about her older brother teasing her for ageing. Again i empathise but it's hard to hear sometimes.
She is living next door to someone who bullied her in school and while this person no longer bothers her, i think the residual trauma from the bullying is still there. She is constantly taking photos through her bedroom window of this person and sending them to me. I know this person was a bully, but at the same time i find how she is constantly taking photos of her really creepy.
I've become kinda worn down by the whole thing and it's at the point where i dread hearing from this woman, yet i would feel like a bad friend for just dropping her. Aibu?
