I work as a Customer Laison Complaints Case Officer at a major insurance company, where I have worked for 3 years. I left school when I was 17, as I had some very bad experiences at school and wanted to see what the real world had to offer.

I now live with my boyfriend of 3 years and spend my spare time reading, writing, socialising with friends or just watching some TV.

Times are still hard and I'm trying to cope with various health problems on a daily basis but I'm working my way through things and really want to stop it from getting me down.

I dream of some day going to America and watching a real baseball game (we don't have that at all in the UK) and perhaps finding a job I find creatively fulfilling. Until then, I'm happy trying to be me and making the best of what I have.

I actually had a similar problem with a friend a while ago and although it is hard, it does reach a point where you just have to draw the line.

I know that it is difficult but try to look at it this way...if you just met her today, would you still want to be her friend? If you are having difficulties with friends, this is often the best way to assess the situation. If in your heart of hearts you know she is not really a good friend to you, then you need to get out of the friendship.

The chances are, it won't be as easy as just breaking off contact with her so you may need to stand up for yourself during the next argument and tell her you want nothing more to do with her. After this point, she may well try to get back in contact with you and make you be friends with her. If she makes you miserable now, resist this. It's easy to go back and you will end up going through the same thing again. Sadly, I know this from experience.

Stand up for yourself, tell her you deserve better from a friend and leave it at that. Then, go and make the most of your other friends or make new ones.
