I’ve got a friend named “Carol”. I know she has some childhood trauma and I’ve always tried to be supportive of her and her chaos, but here lately she’s just being ridiculous. When I met her, she was living with her (then)husband, and youngest child. In the house of her 2 older children’s father. Well obviously that didn’t last long because why would it?? So she immediately moved into a 24 year old coworkers house with her youngest child and wouldn’t you know it, that didn’t work out either. Who would have thought? He ended up getting some other coworker pregnant, and booted her and her youngest out. So now “Carol” is living with a female friend she knew, and lo and behold that’s not working out either. So I asked her tonight what her plans are and if she needs me to help her turn in any housing applications for her and her youngest child. And she has decided no, that’s too many “hoops and loops to jump through”. So she’s just going to let her youngest live with the 2 oldest and their dad and his wife and the 3 other kids in that house 😵‍💫, and shes gonna go live in her jeep in the back yard of the 23 year old who just threw her out because he still texts her and tells her he loves her and not that other girl he got pregnant and lives in his house now. Mind you “Carol”is 34 years old. Doing all this BS. I try to do very limited interaction with “Carol” because she wears me out mentally, with her constant drama. And every weekend she doesn’t have her youngest she’s out bar hopping, running roads, partying. Instead of focusing on doing anything stable for her life. I’m just at my wits end. I really do try to not judge her for her trauma she has, but man. She’s affected her kids so much that it’s just made me sick towards her.
