LA,

I have been where you have been and I understand how difficult it can be...especially with long time friends. However, even with friends you have to put your foot down to keep your own sanity. I have a friend who was in the same situation and I felt like we were having the same conversation everyday and it just got sooooo old and I got tired of repeating myself to obviously death ears. Unfortunately, for some, they have to bump their head before they learn. All, you can do is pray that God preserves them and gives them clear eyes to see and an open mind and heart to receive. I had to tell my friend that I loved her but I couldn't continue the daily circle we were having. If she couldn't respect my feelings then she needed to do some self-searching and come back when she could. It got to the point that no matter how the conversation begun we ended by talking about the same 'ol thing and it was making me not even want to talk to her.

LA, you cannot carry their burdens and they should not expect you to. That ain't right. You have said what you had to say so now you have to just let go and let God...for real. If they are your friends, they will understand and accept your position. If they don't...they just don't. I know its easier said than done but please don't let this continue to worry you. Sometimes the right choices in life are not the easiest...

I'm praying for you LA....

I would be harsher than SWTX Belle. I would tell them "I am unable to tolerate your issues as such our friendships are affect. Until you are able to speak to me without dumping your problems on my lap, I will be more than happy to speak to you. Until then, I hope you achieve all your heart's dreams. Peace out..."

You are not a waste management company and even if you were, you don't have the licenses or permits to accept trash. So, why should you take it from these folks? Just asking?
