Day 27 - A problem that you have had.

Day 27 - A problem that you have had.

Infertility is probably the only real problem I have ever had, but you are probably tired of hearing about that.

I guess if I had to pick another problem I would pick needing to cut all ties with an old friend from 2nd grade (we were best friends from 2nd grade until two summers ago).

She kicked me out of her wedding after I already booked my flight and week-long condo stay in Florida. (a $1,500 investment) I still to this day have no idea why?

The part I feel horrible about is at the time I booked my flight and condo (7 months after she originally asked me) I bought it then because my husband just finished a HUGE side job that he made a bunch of money at (now this job was after his regular job and it took him a month because he could only work 3-4 hours after regular work) (and he is a carpenter so this is physical manuel labor in the hot summer time..working a 14-15 hour day) anyways he brought his money home and handed it over to me to pay for my flight and condo.

So after she kicked me out...I really wish I had that money back. I feel as though she owes me it. It really hurts me because it hurt my very generous husband who worked SSSOOOOO hard to provide me that opportunity.

We didn't talk for several weeks and then she tried contacting me. I ignored all phone calls and deleted all emails without even reading them. There is nothing I wanted to hear from her.

During this time I was talking to my little brother daily (as usually) and I told him I never wanted to talk to her again and he gave me the best piece of advice that anyone could ever give me...he said,
"Imagine her as a balloon on a string, then imagine yourself with a scissors. Now imagine yourself cutting that string and seeing the balloon float away."

Little brothers go figure?

So when she called me and I ignored the calls and deleted the emails I just pictured a balloon floating away.

Also, as I think back on grade school, high school, and college...I realized just how toxic she was. She did tons of drugs. Was arrested for shop lifting (she shop lifted thousands of times before she was caught) slept with every boy and did oral sex to boys in the cornfields everyday after school. She even shop lifted when I was with her and me who did not shop lift at all could of gotten in trouble for not doing anything because I was with her. She also drove around with drugs in her car without telling me...I would find it in her glove box or under the seat (and she was a horrible driver) I could of gotten in trouble. I would of tested clean, because she did the drugs before and after we were together. So yeah, very toxic and the friendship should of ended a long time ago.
