Often people are both good and bad and sometimes it is hard to know how much bad is worth taking for the good.
My best friend is very supportive but has a brain injury and I'm told over and over that I should "get rid of her" because she is not perfect. Then everyone should get rid of me as well. My friend means well but she makes tons of weird mistakes all the time that affect me. I had to set her straight more than once. Still I don't want to lose her.

Thank you. It's nice to see someone who understands how it is. My friend can be very helpful and no one even said anything about the fact that I can hardly walk with a broken foot and need help. Well, he is going to do my grocery shopping, walk my dog and clean my apt and yes I am going to pay him because he has no income. He gets his housing for free rather than him be homeless. Yes, he has a drinking problem but I am not going to buy him anymore alcohol. I told him no about it today. Since blocking him for 3 days he is acting better now.
