As I said for me it's the fact he said he doesn't actually want to help her or even be her friend at the end of the day so I don't see him having her best interest at heart.
He'd probably drop her as soon as she did she did/said something he didn't like since he hasn't forgiven her for her behaviour over the friend.
Saying she's doing well when she's clearly not is whole other issue she doesn't need mollycoddling and just seems like he wants stuff to use against her I just don't see how he would be helpful to her in any way.
It just all looks very sly tbh.
You say sly, I say I just have conflicted emotions.
I know in my logical mind that she's obviously not close to having changed, but to have people tell you "no you're never going to change" is just a kick while you're down.
This is the last message I'm going to say on the matter because honestly it feels like none of you are even trying to understand what I meant and you've made up your minds already.
In summary.
I don't want to be Lou's friend.
I don't believe Lou will change.
I don't even think she has the capacity to change.
I really wish this wasn't how I felt.
I really wish she could change.
I don't believe in her.
I'd like to believe in her.
She used to be nice, she used to be worth putting the effort in for.
If that person who used to be there could come back, I would go to the ends of the earth to make it happen.
I truly don't think it's possible... I don't even really think there's a slim chance she'll recover, I think she'll be dead before she comes back....
But she wouldn't be the first old friend I'd s talked and abandoned who'd gone on to die and left me with a pit in my stomach making me think "what if I just said yes when they reached out"
If you haven't been in these circles and had multiple friends around you drop like flies when, truly, you actually could have done something but didn't... You'll never get it.
I could have saved at least two of my dead friends.
I don't blame myself for their deaths but it's still difficult to cope with emotionally when I think back to the times they reached out and I said "do off idiot, you're taking me for a ride".
Lou said she's going to NA.
She asked if I'd be her sponsor and people from here chimed in saying I've shared images of her... I've shared it again now, you all see how benign it was.
I didn't even s talk it.
Lou WILL die before she recovers.
I would feel bad if I didn't at least pretend to care before the fact.
