Hi I would love some advice on how to deal with a friend of 15 years.
I have always given into her gone to her house and have done every favour under the sun, baby sitting for her etc.
She is controlling and very negative, she find it hard to give compliments and puts me down in front of people to make her self feel better.
I know she has a lot of issues and is demanding but I've always felt I understood that she is that way and why and felt sorry for her.
She is very manipulative and will say " You haven't seen Sammie for 2 days , he's asking for you" . Using her children to make me come over and making me feel bad.
I've been distancing myself from her recently as I'm self employed and need to work (she's a stay at home mum without hobbies so gets bored easily) she also doesn't like to leave the house much. I cannot and will not be her entertainment anymore, I'm fed up and want to quit this one sided friendship!
Her husband wants a divorce as he says she's controlling and mean and I've been there for her as much as I can but she wants me at hers everyday ! If I do not pick up my phone she will ring 10 times and never leave a voice mail or message which is infuriating !
If I like something on Facebook she will ring me and say "seeing as your on Facebook I know you will pick up" I find her borderline stalking me!
I've tried to put boundaries in but she wants me there at weekend as well.
Any advice would be appreciated !
