My friend lost her husband and of course was grieving they were married 28 years , he was never able to work, he always had very bad lung problems ... about 9-10 months she kept trying to find a new guy she kept thinking that would “ fix her”

I was always willing to listen to her.. but I couldn’t help her and she was on messenger constantly , mad if I didn’t respond right away. It just became to much to me... I told her she needed help , church widows group or most certainly a T.

She did start going to church and the widows group , we don’t talk much anymore, she hooked up with some guy she met online.

I tried really hard to help her but she became an emotional vampire and I had to take a giant step away
