A Friendship for a Lie....

It was so pretty outside today. I love going to the park with my youngest daughter and days like today are perfect for going to the park. Before I go though I am going to blog about something that is pretty peculiar to me. I used to be friends with someone who I actually met when I was 13 years old. This person and I lost track and after many years we hooked back up. I had issues I was dealing with yet everything was about them. I would attempt to discuss me or what was happening but it just always got buried under their problems. I began not answering my phone when their number came up because I knew how the conversation would go. It would go something like this: I am, I need, I can't, Me, Me, Me, and more ME! Friendship is suppose to be a two way street.
Sometimes when I did answer they would ask for my thoughts on something or to tell them what they should do about something. So, I would give my thoughts and of course they NEVER listened I wondered why they even asked. :)
This person was very insecure and ALWAYS needed my reassurance. It can be pretty frustating when the only time they call is to talk and talk about their problems. So, anyway the last time I spoke to them they asked me to lie about something for them. I was told "IF" I truly was a friend I would do this. I really considered it but it would have made me look stupid. And for what I didn't do anything wrong. So anyway I spoke to my husband and he told me no I shouldn't get involved so I chose not to. This "friend" went from saying I will respect whatever you decide to do to the extreme opposite of I hate you, you messed up my life because you didn't cover for me, blah, blah, blah...
The thing that probably helped me to make the decision NOT to lie for them was they actually tried to buy my lie with pills. That is really sad a person who is suppose to be a true friend is that desperate that they are willing to contribute to my life's distruction. That made me mad for them to think I would actually allow myself to look stupid just to get medicine. They were WRONG I may have been going through a lot but that didn't mean I was going to sell myself out for them. Hello I do my have dignity, and I did have self respect. 
I didn't do it and they called my house and cussed at me on my answering machine where my daughter could hear. My daughter considered them family and that was just low. Called me a whore and a drug addict and more unsavory names. But it only showed their instability and their desperation.
This person I would never be able to trust again. They changed everything and the sad part was it was all over me not wanting to lie for them. I mean it was stupid and I couldn't believe the levels this person would go to. I knew eventually the things they did would come to light because they could only cover the lies for so long. And it did catch up to them and the one thing they gave up our friendship for is gone. But that's neither here nor there. 
I really am not sure what made me think of this person but something did so I thought I'd just blog it and then let it go.
Til the next~
