a friend of mine,her boyfriend-beat up her room-mate and i feel that she is going to be the next victim...she is also heavily using drugs with him and or selling them with him.in addition to that he is using her for money and sex and as someone to rag on.i have not seen her in over a month...and i get a phone call from her room-mate at 4 am..freaking out about the fight...at first,i did not want to get involved in the situation,then i realized...i mean even if the room-mate hit him first (i was not there so i do not know)that he did not have the right to hit her multiple times.-the room-mate called me up and said my friend was coming by to drop off the cell phone that the "boyfriend" stole(what an idiot!) from the house when my friend snuck back in the window to get her stuff while the room-mate was asleep (room-mate had her locks changed) b/c he left his cell phone behind during the incident.in any event,she was coming back to return her cell phone and get his.i knew this would be my only opportunity to see her without him around.i wanted to see her.
the *intervention*:
this is the hardest thing a friend has to do to another friend.to intervene,and tell someone they are fucked up.so i did.it took three hours.and you know what.she left that night and stayed with HIS friends.she is not ready for help yet.and its sad.very sad.i hope she does not end up in the hospital.i know i did the right thing.but i am really bummed out.
i am realizing that a lot of my "friends" were not great friends after all.its healthy.its spring.i just hope and pray for the best out of all these shitty situations.
anyone else know how i feel?
