Life truly is strange-a person who I trusted has shown a very ugly side of their personality and I should have seen it.  Wanted to give the benefit of a doubt...wishful thinking.

BUT

A person I barely know helped.  Bless him.

I had something similar. A friend who was a literal mess when I met her - I saved her job, helped her thru severe drug addiction (not related to an issue) - just severe recreational drug use to the point she was taking Oxy. Married & divorced a few losers and I still stuck by her. Then she hooked up with an old sweetheart who now is LOADED. Dumped her husband, married the rich guy, flip-flopped 100% on her political affiliation (was left leaning but new hubby is rich from fracking) and she now has a whole new circle of friends. I'm not one of them. She half-heartedly pretends to try to include me sometimes but it doesn't feel sincere.

So I get it mr. somebody! I helped someone thru many years of her life, saved her job on multiple occasions but now that she has money - I'm no longer needed and in such a short period of time. It's quite a kick in the ass.

OTH, I have a former boss who has done more for me than anyone and I could pick up the phone right now and ask him for anything he had and he would gladly give it to me.

Funny how people are (or aren't) when you think they will be there for you.

Relli-almost the same thing a few years ago and it still hurts-so many hospitals/courts/dirtbags and now that this person got what they wanted...wow and I thought "two-face" was a fictional character by DC.

Currently someone who I sort of have to work/associate with is just an emotional vampire and manipulative as hell and unless it is about him...he don't care even blames your concerns on you "you are bringing me down, man"-oh really then do not phone me at 2am with your latest self-induced problem.

Person who helped just did it because that is the person they are and the kind of person I try to be-you just do not see it much anymore (too busy/too social media absorbed/overloaded world)

Yes, true friends are hard to make....I feel these days I don't have the energy to try, so I have no friends or anyone to talk to

Well, PM me if you want.  You have a friend in me.  (Hey wait, isn't that a James Taylor song?).  Seriously, friendship works as good as meds.  Take care Tara.  -dc

Hi Tara! I think we joined around the same time! Please feel free to chat with me! I'm not sure how much knowledge I have, but we can talk! Sometimes it's easier over the computer anyway! It's raining here where I am, not sure what I am going to do today with the kids...they are on their tablets as usual....I need friends that aren't kids too!! haha

Hi FirePlaces,
I think I know you already
from another board.
SM was your name.
You're real name begins with a C and ends with E.
I didn't want to say it and won't.
Talk later I hope.
Forgive me if I have the wrong person.
