I have concluded from her behaviour that my friend who has mental health problems has no values.She does not appear to have any capacity for genuine lasting love,caring or friendship.Honesty and loyalty mean nothing to her.She has no capacity for compassion for others.I have seen what I didn't want to believe for so long-that she uses people,not caring who she treads on or damages as long as her needs are being met.When someone ceases to be useful , or begins to see the real "her" they are discarded.

Since she broke off contact with me that has been it.I've made no attempt to get in touch,I've no idea how she's doing.

So why do I still think about her and wonder if she's ok? Why do I still wonder if I (as the one who's not ill) should get in touch(she's more than capable of maintaining contact when there's something in it for her)?Should I? Why does it bother me that she's going to end up a very lonely person? Maybe that's what she wants-these are her choices.
