Hey there, individuals of Iwaku. How are you doing?
I had to cut out a toxic friend today, and I didn't want to. I actually feel pretty badly about it, but I have to for my mental health. Once upon a time, she was such a strong individual, but a few years ago she started dating this horrendous guy. He's drained her financially, makes her feel absolutely terrible about herself and her career (highly successful,) and when she's finally done and tries to leave, he uses the fact that he was an orphan against her and how this always happens, yadda yadda yadda. He's toxic, I've tried to talk to her, bring things to his attention, bring up the fact that he's lied about being in the military, or the fact that he's claimed to have terminal brain cancer 3 times and have survived it all. It's personal at this point since I have family (and myself) were military, and my mom nearly died from cancer. He pushes all of the friends who call him out away and have made her nearly alone. But I couldn't do it any more. I love her, she's like my sister, but there comes a point where you have to just say enough is enough.
So, I ask you, Iwaku, have you ever had to do this? What was the situation if you don't mind sharing?
