Right.
C: you're not her best friend. Being a best friend isn't Telling someone What They Want to Hear All The Time.
Thanks to you and your ilk, she just dismisses people who actually care about her as "jealous bitches". Yes, we're really jealous of her having her stomach pumped, court sentencing, and seeing her lose her son.
It's good that her son is in care at the moment, because she isn't a fit parent, actually, C. The social workers aren't doing it because they hate her. For god's sake, stop sabotaging any epiphanies she has when she might actually recognise that she needs to stop binge drinking, not a "new social worker who understands children should be with their mothers". Stop filling her head with crap about how you need or she needs to win the lottery and get "a better lawyer". What she needs is the best therapy money can buy, and to be locked in a deluxe drying-out clinic for a month.
Some therapy about relationships would be good too- because at the moment she's a magnet for abusive bastards and has been for ten years. C, could you stop posting, "all men are bastards" on her relationship disaster updates? They're not- but while she carries on believing that they are, she will carry on thinking that she can't have better. She was improving before she met you.
She is a lovely girl underneath- she has always had problems- she has always needed her head sorting out, but I genuinely believed she was going to slowly become the person she was meant to be. I don't think she is now.
Thank you Hully. That made me feel better.
