Blog Subject: | Alcoholic Friend |
I got an upsetting phone call this morning. Yesterday my friend with alcohol problems picked me up from my psych appt and then we went on to pick up her daughter and take her to college to register. My friend came back to my house to pick up a CD I had bought for her and then went to pick up her daughter again. She was fine and not pissed. I get this phone call today saying she had smashed the front of the car and burst the front tyre. Then got drunk and was unconcious and not answering questions. Her mum has asked me not to contact her until I am told I am allowed and I am upset as she seemed to imply all this was my fault and I am not sure how that can be. I am not to contact the family at all and if my friend tries to contact me I am to ignore her. They want to sort her out. Quite how cutting out one of her best friends from her life is going to help this I am not sure. Plus I am cross - I am not the one pouring this down her throat and I dont know why I seem to be held to blame for what is going on. I dont think I am being paranoid that def seemed to be the message I was getting. Plus her daughter is my God-daughter and I dont know what to do about contacting her. I am so worried about my friend and now I will have no way of knowing how she is. It sucks really. Please send supportive vibes her way. Thanks Cracked |

It sounds abusive to me that her mum is trying to cut your friend off from her friends and support network in this way. That sounds extremely manipulative to me. I'm sorry about your friend and sending the supportive vibes her way... |

Thank you so much. I think it is bad too as she does not have important ppl in her life at a difficult time. Thanks hon. Cracked |
