What is the best way to deal with friends w/ drama? I can not lie I am always that friend who will stay on the phone till 3 am in the morning, pick you up when your man puts you out, lend you money when you need it type of friend who always helps a sista out but I am at a critical phase in my life not only career wise but emotional and spiritually as well....
All my friends and family know I am sitting for the Bar exam in basically 30 days but no one seems to care! A/w I get a phone call at like 6 am from one of my closest friends (she's in NY) about coming to my area to look for apartments this weekend b/c her husband is acting up. Now this has been over 5 years of anything that could go wrong in a marriage DID... OVER AND OVER AGAIN!
I couldn't find it in my heart (as my Mom advised) to tell her this isn’t a good time to come so I didn't. Well she said she would call me to talk in more detail but never did! So I called her and come to find out the 'storm' passed and she said she couldn't come again but maybe she'll try in a few weeks!
I am thinkin' you call and wake me up outta my sleep to show him you can throw a temper tantrum (her words not mine)????!!!
I'm thinking.... Why not call my cell??? Ughhh I am really upset! Years ago I prayed on it and said Lord just help me hold my tongue and I have not spoken one ill word about him I just tried to be an ear but I am thinking what do I do now. The next 5 weeks are critical and I don’t want any of my friends w/ drama to pull me in the middle of it.... Is there anyone out there who has any words of advice on how I should handle this?
