I have a close friend who struggles alot with her mental health. SHe has bipolar, which is medicated, and she is usually very stable and makes good decisions. However, she has recently met a man and has started to hyperfocus on the relationship. She went on holiday last week with him, and I got a call from her daughter in tears. She had been left at home with no food, no money and no way of getting to the shops. Now, the child in question turned 18 last week, but she is vulnerable herself. I love my friend dearly, but I am very cross about it. I took her daughter to the shops and made sure she had everything she needed, but it just feels very crap and I don't know what to do about it. My friend has changed considerably since meeting this man, and started to neglect all her friendships, etc. I was sad that she was neglecting friendships, but could deal with it. I feel like it's totally different when it's their child though.
I don't know what to do about this situation. It has triggered my own anxiety, and made me feel quite crap about the friendship. I dont think she would react well to being told how I feel about things, so maybe it is time to step away from the friendship? She has changed alot recently, and I am struggling to understand the way she is behaving. I did tell her that I was worried that she was putting all her eggs in one basket with this guy, but she seems blind to anything and anyone else. I'm really unsure what to do.
