I am so frustrated with my friend continuously dating pieces of shit. She has a 4 year old son and it’s so sad. Her last girlfriend didn’t help pay the bills or anything, drove her car to work, and would spend all her paycheck on “spice” and crack. My friend would even have to spend $20 a day to help her with her habit. Multiple times my friend had to take her to the hospital because she is diabetic and would go days without eating…

When I would go hang out with my friend, her girlfriend would get mad if she spent money doing stuff with me. She started posting on her Snapchat “single, hmu” and posting videos to her story of her smacking her female coworker’s butts… then she would come home and cause a scene until my friend would apologize and offer to buy her drugs… you could tell her son was uncomfortable with her around. She aklso cheated on my friend constantly and was caught texting other women and would disappear overnight doing god knows what.

She would get upset any time my friend asked her to help with the bills. Finally, she started staying with another girl and they “ended things” but my friend was still a doormat to her. She had stolen my friend’s son’s Xbox and refused to give it back. Then one night when my friend wasn’t home, she needed a phone charger and got pissed that my friend wasn’t home to give her hers. She then broke into her home and stole her charger and weed. Then, she went to Walmart where my friend and her son just so happened to be. She followed my friend inside and harassed her, then grabbed her phone. My friend asked an employee to call the cops, then she drove back home with her son and asked me to come over to wait for the cops to get there.

She let the cops read their texts where she was threatening my friend telling her she’d have to “shoot her” to keep her away, insulting her and body shaming her, etc. She was arrested that night but bonded out by another girl. For some reason, my friend still hasn’t blocked her number and she’s still asking her if she can come spend the night etc.

I’m getting really impatient with her. Why not block her? She already lost custody of another kid because her baby daddy was abusive and she refused to leave him. Now this… it’s hard not to be frustrated with her.

I’ve been in an abusive marriage and left the second the police got involved. Immediately got a PFA (protection from abuse) and made it to where he couldn’t come near me again. If I had a kid, it would have pushed me to do it sooner. So I guess I just don’t understand.

AITAH?
