I’m not sure. A childhood friend of my wife has a shitty life (at least in her eyes, so this is what she projects to the outside world), a shitty marriage, and is constantly complaining. Very difficult person to be around.
Both she and her husband are objectively immature, and IMO should not have married in the first place (or at least not so early)
Now the two with diagnosed depression. Unsure how “deep”.
Their three kids suffer the most. Poor things. Even starting to show early signs of underdevelopment.
She affects my wife and my kids negatively, to some extent. Her kids do the same to my kids, to a lesser extent.
Part of me wants to tell my wife to tell her friend to get her sh*t in order, and come back when she’s done.
Another part of me thinks that’s precisely what friends are for, and I suffer for those three kids.
I focus on being present for my family.
