I had a friend for 16yrs we've been through plenty of ups and downs-i got married in september and my friend had to be the centre of attention the whole day, then she offered to look after my children one night and when she came back told lies and said we were late coming back. She broke up with her bloke and then got back with him- her cousin told me but said i wasnt to know about it !! then i found out she s been doing coke!! she blanked my daughter and she came home really upset so i made the mistake of sending a text saying how shes never been there for me how she kept things from me and why is she being so nasty - thing is now i feel stupid for sending the text as she said its none of my business what she does!! but she butts her nose into mine all the time such a hypocrite !! - i rang her to say sorry and asked what ive done but she doesnt want to know - im really gutted - even though i shouldnt as shes not exactly a mate is she ?!! am i really in the wrong here advice me please
If you want to keep the friendship, you may have a long, bumpy road ahead of you. People with substance abuse problems don't typically come out of it when people ask them to, they have to hit rock bottom and realize that they need to clean up on their own. Just back up a bit and be there for her when this happens. Don't let her crap mess up your life either, if you don't see a positive in the continuation of this relationship at any point in the future then perhaps it's time to cut it off.

dont apologise when SHE is in the wrong. cut her out and focus your energies on finding new and better friends.
