I am so sick of the drama....NPR

So I have this friend..let's call her sally. LOOOOONG story short: we met last year about this time of year. after knowing sally a few months i learn her bd beats her. she saw a lawyer to make sure no legal complications of moving from ohio back to her home in florida. her bd finds out a couple days later and he calls the cops on sally saying she tried to kill him bla bla bla. she goes to jail. all charges dropped, etc. she needed a place to stay while this drama was going on so hubs and i decide she can stay with us for a short stay while she gets on her feet. she had no job (was a SAHM of her 6 month old) and no license. well 3 1/2 months come and go and hubs and i told her we needed our space back- we are not only needing our time back, but we need the bedroom we made just for her because we are now expecting #3. the entire time sally lived with us she decided to make friends with my bar hopping, irresponsible cousin. we set rules for sally so she knew what to expect. we set these rules on the way home from picking her up from jail so no confusion.....no alcohol, if she goes out for the night, she stays out til morning- my kids need their sleep, respect our family time. above all that she was to get her license reinstated, get a job and move out. we thought no more than 6 wks of staying with us so she could get on her feet. again, 3 1/2 months later she hadn't done one thing. we were at our end of frustration leading to anger so we tell her we just need our space, she needed to get out (we originally told her 4 wks...then she did nothing, so it turned into 2 wks.) next thing we know we TELL HER to get a place of her by the weekend. we had done all we could to get this girl to grow her own wings, but she was doing nothing other than interrupting my kids, disrespecting our home life, bar hopping, in and out at all hours, interrupting the kids' sleep over and over again and making fun of the kids! we had enough!

she moved out.... it is now almost 6 months past her moving out finally. she does finally have 2 part time jobs, and got an apt on her own. her parents have taken out loan after loan to help her, while they are in florida.
here's the issues: she is so dramatic. i truly feel she is a hypochondriac. she blows up about everything. she still OBSESSES over her bd. she had a boyfriend that they were on and off for the past 8 months. he couldn't take the drama (and had much of his own) and of course tried to let me in on all of that drama. she is still dealing with custody of her baby so that drama is in the air, and now that her and her boyfriend have split (For good- so they say, for the 3rd time) she is up my butt. not just everyday, but all day. she messages me about the dumbest things. i let them go or just ignore them. she calls all the time during dinner and working with the kids on their homework, or putting them to bed. i have to go as far to silence my phone because she calls all the time. i used to dance around things and say "it's not a good time, ill call later" or "is it an emergency? we are busy" now it's ignoring her msg's, calls, and i have flat out told her from 320-845p i WILL NOT msg back or answer a call.
she calls me saturday to say she has hurt her back and is in a lot of pain. she has no insurance, therefore no doctor, so she goes to the hospital. not that i KNOW any of what happened, but i said it sounded like she pulled a muscle in her back and it's taking a few days to heal (which can often take months to heal) or it sounded like a kidney stone or something. she has uti's literally every 5-6 weeks and i told her i don't think it sounded normal, to ask the doc about it when she goes in. so she calls me FREAKING OUT!!! hysterical. of course i think something is terribly wrong. she says that her 2 uncles died from some "mysterious kidney issue" and the doc wanted to do a cat scan on her. she said the doctor strongly advised her to get a support person in to be with her while she is in the ER. so i am naturally concerned that if the doc told her this, something is wrong, and as her friend, best friend, whatever, i should be there for support. this was just after dinner time. but it's the weekend so no biggie. hubs stays home with the kids. iget to the hospital to be with her. the doc comes in minutes later and says "well, the ct scan MIGHT show a kidney stone, but it sounds like it's just a back spasm and nothing extreme.".... WTF- she called me going on and on how the doc was concerned bla bla bla bla. so then doc says her amount of uti's she gets is very unusual and they CAN do an ultra sound to see if anything is going on there. she opts to have one. ok..... while there she tells me how she messaged her ex boyfriend telling him what was going on. he was at a wedding- totally smashed- so she tells him that the doc says she can be alone for the next 48-72 hrs because she needs to be monitored.....by this time i am PISSED!!! I am past my due date, i am miserable, it's past the kids' bed time (it's always rough being alone with more than one kid at bed time). iam thinking *wait.....i bet the doc didn't tell her SQUAT that anyone needed to be here....they keep brushing this off* I am so pissed.

then she calls me about how her ex said he was going to come comfort her and care for her. but he was too drunk. so she said to stay away from her. and so he did. well she went to the bar tuesday night and he was at the same bar and she was pissed because he ignored her. on and on with that drama.

today: i am at the doctor with my oldest and can't take calls (naturally). so she freaks out in messages telling me she had to get her eye xrayed and she needs to get her eyes dilated because there is a chance she has retinal detachment disorder....... ok? seriously? then she says "i have no insurance of course. if it goes left untreated then i will lose my eye sight within this year and ill be blind."

OMG... I AM SO SICK OF HER STUPID DUMB ASS DRAMA.. I DON'T CARE~!!!!!!
so vent over....thanks for reading if you took the time! anyone else want to vent their frustrations or friend issues?!

  • Wow. Im speachless! Hypocondriac is a great word to describe "sally". Im sorry you have to go through this!
  • Oh boy. Well people like her are partly why doctors have jobs I suppose. I've been dealing with drama from a friend of mine. We were doing just fine and all of a sudden she texts me saying we can't be friends anymore because of some stupid stuff I did ages ago. I basically said, fine beeyotch, and blocked her completely out of my life. This girl is ttc so she can give the baby to her mom. She's planning on NOT getting attached to the baby. Wtffff......
  • #WOW! I dont even know how to respond to this she seems like shes a lonely woman and well she just wants attention and blankly shes getting the wrong one!! I would be upset if i were you and frustrated as it is but im such a sucker that i would probably still be there for her phonecalls and all......ugh im such a good friends when it comes down to it and yet no one for me to call a true friend when i need it!!.....that was my little vent! lol
  • @victoriab that is funny. yes, it's folks like her why docs have jobs and why the ER is full!
  • Um does she have insurance? If not she's screwed!
  • nope no insurance...of any kind. when she lived with us she went to the ER for a sore throat. she didn't even have it for a full day. she still hasn't paid the bill or sent in her pay stub (to show how little she makes).
  • that was a long one.. and in my eyes these are the kind of people that i like to call leaches.. there like parisites.. and they feed on kind hearted soft spoken individuals.. or any one who will allow them to.. everything in there life is a big deal .. and everyone else should care.. i think you just need to start detatching from her..so she can suck the life out of someone else.. keep yourself at a distance.. good luck with that..
  • Holly cow. I would change my number asap.
  • omg cut her out of your life NOW! No joking I have dealt with crazy people like that in the past and they GET WORSE! Seriously you haven't even known her that long.
    Block her from everything, change your number if you have to. She is fricken psycho... she is a future Debra Start! (not that you would know who that is lol but trust me you don't want too)
    I would delete her from any social network you might share with her like FB, or Myspace, what ever. Block numbers, change numbers and never talk to her again.
    I know it seems like I am spazzing out but trust me on this... you do not want to continue the friendship.

    And @lae3 she is a leach, but a crazy leach with all of the medical drama bs.
  • yeah shes draining your energy.. thats what i meant in this situation.. argh.. sorry.. I had a freind simular to this .. and she had so much drama she never had time to just be a freind.. and let me talk or have a problem .. you know what i mean
  • @LittleFae last post was for you.. hehaheh forgot to tag you
  • @lae3 - ROFL its ok I just realized that I didn't fully type out what I meant. I meant to say that you were right, hahahaha I deserve a fail cookie now. I meant to say

    And @lae3 is right she is a leach, but a crazy leach with all of the medical drama bs.
  • On the bright side, if she loses her eye sight, she won't be able to see the numbers on her phone to call you...just sayin...
  • The user and all related content has been deleted.
  • Geez what an energy sucker!!! And what on earth was she saying to make fun of your kids?? I think that bothered me most of all!!
  • @LittleFae :0) !!! & @brendalou your funny lo

    My best friend is a huge hypochondriac...she can't work bc she's so sick all the time. She actually filed for disability a few months ago. It's ridiculous! We live half a country apart so I don't have to deal with it..just hear about it all. She had the nerve to ask me for money a few days ago...mind you she lives with mommy and daddy (who are loaded and pay for anything and everything that she wants) and they feed into all of this...and she asks me for money...and when I told her no she wanted me to borrow it from my mom who is struggling just as much as we are. So selfish! Sorry for my mini vent.
  • @lae3 yes she is a leech! i know exactly what you mean! and that's the way it is. i was telling my hubby how irritated i was- she was no where to be found when i was stressing out and needed a friend to talk to. she was "always busy" with her boy toy and working- supposedly. but then they break up and she's all up my butt about everything.

    @starrxoxo9 my dad was a very sarcastic person (well, still is) so as a kid, and now to the grandkids if the kids are being way over dramatic then he would tease them- if my daughter gets in trouble for something then he will say "hahahhahaha- you got in trouble!!" but it's very sarcastic and usually gets the kids to stop acting out and then turns more playful. so she was around me and my dad and we were talking about doing that one time and sally picks it up. so whenever the kids would get in trouble (i mean ANY time) she would say "HAHAHA YOU GOT IN TROUBLE!" but it wasn't really a sarcastic manner- it was mean. and you can only do it so often to kids to understand. if my son would be crying about his skin (he has health issues) hurting/itching him then she would say "ohhhhh, poor baby- too bad." i mean things that got way out of control and we had it. we told her "hey, they don't like that and it's just irritating the situation." then it was "you need to stop it really upsets them." i got sick of it once and for all and told her she has taken it too far- they are young kids and regardless of OCCASIONAL teasing it truly hurts their feelings. she would insult them and would act like she's teasing. it was just too much.

    @brendalou HAHAHAHAH this is true. i told my husband what you said and he just laughed and laughed.

  • Rofl. At first reading this I was thinking omg the poor girl. The more I read the more I realized this situation sucks so bad. I'm sorry u are going through this. She sounds like a creeper rofl. And good gracious, who in the world has THAT much problems, seriously!? Anyway, whatever phone company you have, I'd suggest getting her # blocked via calls & text. I have Sprint & I know they do that for you. I'm pretty sure other phone companies do it too. That or DL an app that blocks calls. I have 1 of those apps that sends the #s I choose straight to VM. I know you feel/felt bad for her, but all this crap is totally causing unnecessary stress on you & you're pregnant & past due!? So uncalled for! You need to put your health, pregnancy & family first & this weirdo is getting in the way. I'm sorry you're going through this. I can't help but laugh at her, it sounds SO bizarre all the crap she goes through hahahahahahaa.
  • Wow what's wrong with her?! I wouldn't put up with that either! I feel bad for her kid :(
  • @starrxoxo9 it's really sad. she's actually a great mom. but she only gets visitation with him right now because of the whole court and jail fiasco. i would hope she wouldn't treat her own kids as such! she actually has 2 kids- she got pregnant at 16, kept her daughter for 6 months then decided she couldn't do it anymore and allowed her brother and sister in law to adopt her baby.

    she's rather- messed up?
  • That is sad. I actually feel kinda sorry for her. As messed up as she acts, its gotta stem from somewhere, so who knows why she's like that or what made her that way.
