She doesn't go INTO the sessions with my T, but sits out in the waiting room for me. I would never allow her to go IN to a session. But yeah...
seriously, I expected so many people to say things like, "how can you do that to her? she has so many issues, how can you just 'kick her to the curb' like that? what kind of person are you?"
even my T said that either other friends will step out to support her, or she will end up in a shelter for a while...and that she will be ok if that happens.
i thank you all for your support in this...because inside, i feel like i am being a monster for doing this - i feel like how could this be something a good friend does. I suppose in the end though, it IS being a friend if I allow her to experience the consequences of not paying bills or not following through with agreements. By not allowing her to live in the "real world" i am essentially enabling her to continue living as she is.
I know she wants no efforts in life/things. She even said to me one day about calling and making an appointment with a doctor and getting meds refilled, "I'll just have T do it" - I was like, hopefully her T wouldn't do it -- that's something SHE CAN do. She just doesn't want to make the effort.
In fact, she is applying for disability - and SHE isn't doing any of it...she's brought all of her medical/financial papers for the last couple years into her T, and SHE is doing it.
I just need some space to breathe on my own for a bit...time for me (and time for me and my boys).
