Yes, Christina, the extent I got wrapped up in her disability claims was unhealthy for me.

I am still texting with the other woman I met but she has cancelled at the last minute on me twice so I don't think she is very reliable. She is also diabetic and not on insulin and texts me often that she is blacking out from over eating. It is kind of a downer to interact with her so I am not sure if we are actually going to be friends.

I have such resentment about my ex friend that I don't see myself getting back together with her.

I know what you mean by isolating but at the moment I just like my peace and quiet.
