Roommate/Friend Troubles Mood
Thursday, September 18, 2008
My friend/roommate has totally checked out of her kids life and it's driving me crazy,  first I can't see how she can put her relationship over her kids, she has 4 kids that really need her attention and she refuse to give it to them.  I feel more like a live in nanny then a friend, especially considering the fact that she doesn't even talk to me anymore except to belittle me about nagging her to spending time and be a part of her kids life.  She's told me to get out several times but this last time really done it for me b/c I'm tired of her saying that to me when all I'm trying to do is help the situation.  So I have until January which will give me enough time to file my taxes find a nice place and continue my life.  I've known her for 17years and my right hand to God I do not know what I did to piss her off other then nag her about spending time with her kids.  I'm the one that goes to back to school night, contact the teachers, etc.  I just want her to step up to the plate and stop being a slacker......  I'm the kids biggest advocate and b/c we talk I know for a fact that they need their mom, but she refuses.  She comes home from work and lock her self in her room and IM her friend all night or talk on the phone.  Some people are who they are and you can't change them all I can do is pray for her kids and continue to be supportive to them.  As for her I hope she finds her way.

    PSS obtain a business card from a local mental health center and give it to the mother of the children and inform her that she needs to talk w a pdoc and work things out to get her head bk inorder.
    If you are the one that is relocating that may actually be what it takes for her to step up to the plate.
