So if you saw my previous post I talked about being unable to host my homeless friend due to many reasons and I told her last night that I canāt continue to help her. I donāt have the room, money, and it just isnāt a good solution whilst Iām pregnant.
Shit hit the fan. Her boyfriend wonāt help her all of a sudden and she keeps saying sheās just going to end her life. I donāt know how to help her, sheās got until Monday to leave and sheās just constantly crying and I feel like I am so in the wrong for telling her she canāt stay.
My partner is 50/50 on caring, says he doesnāt mind if she stays but it would be easier next year when we were in a better financial position. Sheās been travelling all week to the council to get help and they arenāt doing much, one of her friends offered to take her up to see a shelter and get two weeks of accommodation and tell me why she refused and said āIām too tired.ā
I honestly donāt know what to do with her anymore. Am I wrong for asking her to leave?
EDIT: I think she got the message because all of a sudden sheās texting me telling me sheās at a hostel getting help from there, which surprised me so I guess once sheās grabbed her clothes I wonāt be seeing her for a while. Thank you for reminding me this situation isnāt sustainable and to take care of myself whilst Iām pregnant. I appreciate it.
You're not wrong for asking your friend to leave. It sounds like youāve already given her a lot of support, but your own health and well-being especially while pregnantmust come first. It's understandable to feel guilty, but you canāt pour from an empty cup. Setting boundaries is necessary, and youāve been clear about your limits. While itās painful, you canāt be expected to sacrifice your own stability to solve someone elseās crisis. Encourage her to reach out for professional help, but you are not responsible for fixing everything.
