That Stinging Feeling Is Truth
Mid 30’s Female on cell phone: …Yeah, and SHE calls ME the bad friend. She sent me this email telling me that I need help, that I am some type of alcoholic, and my life is like falling apart, and that no one can handle being around me, and that if I don’t STOP my bad behavior that she doesn’t want to be friends any more. What a bitch. She thinks I am a bad friend and says all I ever want to do is go out and get drunk and use her as my sober cab and she has to babysit me. Do you BELIEVE that? Just cuz she is married and has her perfect little life doesn’t mean that I should change.
