How to deal with this person.

[bethmc93]

I need a mute button because I’m seriously fed up.

I met a girl on a DV course, she’s been assaulted by her ex partner who she was with for 6 weeks and was told by several people he was abusive. She was singing his praises and calling his victims liars. Until it happened to her.

Now it’s all woe is me, constantly telling lies and attention seeking, I get situations can differ and I don’t think any victim is worse off than the other but I genuinely think she loves the attention from this.

She’s told me in the past 3 weeks I don’t have PTSD, I don’t know what abuse is, I should be lucky I only witnessed my father dying and didn’t have all my fingers broken my a partner.

She’s become so reliant on me because I never talk about my problems or what I’m going through.

AIBU to just say fuck off.

It's normal to meet all sorts of people from all walks of life on a DV course. You do not owe them friendship outside of that group - there will be people like you but also people you would not normally want to associate with. There will be people who don't benefit from the course and are forever stuck in a pattern of abusive relationships. They are not your responsibility, regardless of their circumstances. I wouldn't be rude, just much less available. Too busy to meet up and miss some calls, read some messages a few days later. Have a new activity taking up your time (even better if you actually do) . She will move on and you have no reason to feel guilty.
