So I've posted about one of my friends on here about her being in love with a married man. I posted screenshots from my posts below, so you guys will have to read those to make sense of this.
My friends husband found out the guy was married and told her. She has been getting therapy but has barely made progress. Unfortunately, this was worse than we thought. It is beyond obsession. She thinks he will leave his wife and come to her. We have all tried to help her and,make her see that he's not leaving his wife, but she wasn't having it and has resorted to alarming behavior. She refuses to even get an MRI. Turns out she has been lying to us because she knew he was married. I should mention that this guy had to move his family to another state to get away from her. She has also stolen money from her cousin and also stole from our apartment. She quit her job as well because she couldn't stand to be around people.
Last week, we get a bizzare text from her saying that she saw the guy in her dreams and was going to kill herself. Luckily her therapist arrived soon after that. Her and my other friend have talked and she was shocked at what she has been told. She told us that our friend has been having thoughts of strangling us, and also possibly harming her parents with a knife if they don't leave her alone. She had this evil look in her eyes as she said it. This is chilling,because the last time we all (me, my mom and her friend) saw her was at my friends engagement party and seemed like herself so we thought "ok, she's doing better"...nope. She told my friend the next day that she couldn't believe that we all bought her act and was proud that she had us all fooled. She confessed that she's jealous of us because we're all happy with our lives, getting together hanging out and cooking. We invite her to come but she always says no. Whenever we invite her, she always tries to get us to change the date. She tried this recently for New Years. I told her no because we already invited other people. She never visited me after my surgery even when she said she would. She uses plans with her sister-in-law as an excuse, because the sister-in-law said that she has been lying about that as well. She also hates my friends husband.
My friends husband made a final attempt to contact the guy so he can make a video apologizing for how he treated her. He refused because he said she's crazy and has mental issues. Even if he divorced his wife he wouldn't go back to her. He probably thought that he could have some fun with her and then discard her. He's done this many times with other girls too, but I don't think he ever would have imagine how things would turn out with her. She has been obsessed with others guys before, but not like this and I think this really pushed her over the edge.
Her parents don't give a flying fuck because as far as they're concerned, she did this to herself falling for a married guy and deserves to suffer. They're more concerned about what their community will think if this gets out. Her and her brother don't have a good relationship, so he's not going to do anything either.
This morning my friend texts me because our friend messaged her again to meet up. My friend played along to see what she could get out of her. It was pretty chilling and I don't want to put details, but let's just say it was about her planning to get rid of the wife. She has been planning this since last year. She likes toxic people because normal people bore her. I spoke to my therapist about this before and she said if she texts us crazy messages, to call a mental crisis hotline. I told my friend, her husband and my mom this. My friends husband contacted a cousin of hers and gave her screenshots of the conversations. Her cousin said she called and it will be taken care of.
I have blocked her number and social media. She will no longer be welcomed at my apartment and my mom does not want her around either. She will not be at my friends wedding celebrations either. My friend hasn't blocked her yet just in case she gets any more crazy messages. Even if she does get better, I can no longer trust her. How do I know she's not planning revenge? How long has she been putting on an act? She can no longer be in our lives. She is severely mentally unstable. It's sad and upsetting, but she cannot be a part of our lives anymore. I'm done. We all are. We have to move on and cannot put our lives on hold for her.
What would you guys have done in this situation?
UPDATE: My friend informed me that she has been taken away by the crisis center. It took her half an hour to leave because she was screaming and crying. Her parents were yelling and asked who made the call. They think it's my friend and her husband, but it was really her cousin who made the call anonymously. She sent my friend a final goodbye message and hopes we can forgive her someday. Her parents should be ashamed of themselves.
2ND UPDATE: My friend said she should have been in therapy since high school. Unfortunately, her parents are not emotionally aware and are selfish. My friend that was taken away even said her parents are unfit. We suspect she may be bipolar because of several instances that she had. This is partly her parents fault for being so neglectful and should be in jail. If they gave a crap about their daughter, this probably would not have happened. We both need to have a talk to decide what we're going to do now and if we'll let her back in our lives again when she's better. I think we should keep her at a distance.
The crisis center that picked her up is a live-in center. Hopefully they'll do a lot of tests including an MRI. She needs extensive therapy and medication. I don't know how long she'll be in there, but I do hope she get the help she desperately needs. Her brother however is mad that people found out.
3RD UPDATE: After she was taken, they have done tests on her including multiple polygraph tests. They asked her over and over if she meant the things she said and answered no each time. Her cousin went to visit her yesterday for 15 minutes, and told us that she regrets what she did, it was not worth it, she misses her friends, job and hopes that they can forgive her. They'll be doing the polygraph tests weekly to see if she's consistent. They made her take personality tests and they found she has PTSD, Clinical Depression, Anxiety, and eating disorders. The married guy she was with would always make comments on her body and follow Instagram models. I've seen photos of him and he shouldn't be talking. My friend said she used to love eating and would be at a healthy weight. Her parents and brother will not be visiting her. She will most likely be staying in there for 6 months to a year at the most.
She’s threatening to kill herself then call the cops to do a wellness check on her. She sounds batshit deranged and straight up wants to murder the wife and possibly harm other people too??? Block and delete and keep it that way to keep yourself and your other friend safe too.
She’s a dangerous pickme who will straight up kill for mediocre dick. How sad and creepy
This is another good reason to never forgive a man who cheats on you! Don't get back with him. The other woman/women/man/men (?) may try to take you out!
So she’s been sectioned? Aka involuntary patient in a mental health unit?
That’s what she needed. If she’s threatening self harm or violence to others then she needed to be locked up for a while to get her head straight.
Maybe the stupid jerk man will learn a lesson about cheating on his wife.
For security reasons I'll report her to the cops and be aware of her. I think she needs to be in the psychiatry and make sure she can't find you later.
I would have ditched her at the start of their affair. You're very kind and you tried. Is she addicted to something?
Remember that this really isn’t a problem YOU can fix. Your friend-picker is off, sis. I get it with these old friends we didn’t pick as adults. This woman has chaotic energy and sounds like a cluster b personality disordered individual if I had to guess. Glad you have committed to removing her permanently from your life! Otherwise you could spend years of your life throwing more wasted energy at trying to fix her life and problems. I advise nobody do this for another human being who is just a friend.
I suggest you continue to take another major step back emotionally and physically here, and re-evaluate your overall friend group for signs of anyone else with this kind of dramatic and erratic behavior pattern. Then get rid of them, too. Shore up your boundaries.
Does the adulterous scrote and/or his wife know about the extent of the possible threat to her?
Ask her why she didn't want to kill the cheating ass husband instead of the wife who probably doesn't know about ber crazy ass/jk
She definitely needs an MRI. I feel like she could have a brain tumor causing her to act like this. Has she ever acted this way before?
