There was a woman who latched onto me and would dump her negative problems on me. I only heard off her when things were going bad.
The last time we spoke was New Years Eve. She was emotionally abusive because she said how dare I tell her to see her GP or a counsellor and was quite aggressive in her messages. It was getting beyond a joke. On a daily basis she would tell me about negative news stories which I didn’t like and because I didn’t get affected by it she was angry. She kept going into great detail about how the news was making her ill but she refused to stop watching it expecting me to listen.
Why should I get depression because of the news and she doesn’t like the fact I want to be happy which is selfish. Then she was saying people who go to counselling are weak and I said that is judgy and those people have probably had a traumatic time. She said she will watch what she tells me in future so I told her I am sure she can confide in someone else.
Unfortunately she has messaged me tonight asking how things are. I really don’t want to go down this rabbit hole again of emotional abuse and listening to her problems. I feel she has only got in touch as her confidant who she latched onto since me has kept their distance. I don’t want this nonsense again.
