Its really getting out of control
I have known her for years, from school. Even then she would lie. Her Dad had an affair when she was about 11 and her Mum walked out and never spoke to them again. I know it hit her hard, that is why I try to understand her.
I have broken off the friendship before. Main reason was that she told me her Mum had died, then a few months after she must have forgot all this and told me she had seen her Mum and she had totally ignored her. She also told me her Dad had Aids. Which I later found out was a lie This was on top of lots of other "lies", which she told me and everyone else who was friends with her.
Anyway a few years ago I bumped into her again. She gave me yet another sob story and I let her "back in" so to speak. She "seemed" to be having a really bad time and I tried to be there for her. After about a year, i started to doubt what she was telling me and tried to cool it a bit. But just lately she has got into financial trouble. I am too soft, I know I am, but I lent her money. Recently she borrowed, I say "borrowed" but she doesnt actually repay me, 350 pound. Money that we needed, as she was in a right pickle again. I have just found out of a friend of a friend that she has booked a holiday abroad this year, a villa with pool in Italy for her, her partner and 3 kids.
I feel sick. We havent had a holiday for 3 years! I feel like I have been taken for mug. I cant help worrying that she has some kind of mental illness, although she had counselling before. Thats why I am worrying about her. or is she just taking me for the sucker I am?
