I was in a similar situation where i had to walk away from a friend for different reasons who i was very close. At the end of the day people like that will grind you down with them and will bring you down. I had become withdrawn and a shadow of my formerself. In the end though i just had had enough and as much as it hurt and i felt sad, the relief was imense! No more dramas or games! This friend of mine lived a lie, i knew it, she knew that i knew it but she put on a front for other people which was frustrating. Anyway it will eventually come back to bite her where it hurts. I tried to help her, but in the end my sanity was getting affected.


I know you probably feel sad and that you have abandoned her, but at the end of the day some people are beyond any help and the best thing is to just walk away and let them (if ever) sort themselves out.

As the police enquiries on her husband came to nothing and from what you've said he was like at the park, I'm wondering if it's actually her that's the abuser (not necessarily sexual, just emotionally and possibly violently).

But, regardless, you've done the right thing.

It crossed my mind too.

You say she is attention seeking, could she have Munchausen's?

It sounds like you have done the right thing all round, as hard as it is.

BTW if he had kicked my dog, he wouldn't be able to walk for a good few days...

No-one would kick my dog and live to tell the tale.

She was only child so I don't think she has munchousen (sp?) syndrome, rather attention seeking spoilt brat syndrome?

Did I mention I moved out because there was some tension between me and her husband after I broke his nose when he kicked my dog? :rotfl:

She is definitely an emotional abuser. I've always sort of seen this but tried too see past it.

I don't usually condone violence but, on this occasion - nice one. :beer:

Good for you whilst I hate violence sometimes its the only thing bullys understand . Sorry about your friend its sad but you have done the right thing.

Even if she were a sister, the sensible thing to do would not be so different. Unfortunately for the children, they have a self interested abusive drama llama as a mother.

The only main difference if being a blood sister is that maybe you'd stand a chance of presenting yourself to SS as a possible guardian of the children, if you were willing to do that.
