A Cry For Help / myLot

Palisade, Colorado

July 27, 2016 11:26am CST

Bright and early this morning a good friend of mine called and I knew something was wrong. She said she was ok but I knew better and finally she opened up to me. Her and her other half have been having some problems, mainly over him still visiting his ex-wife at times. He got drunk last night and told her to pack up and leave and to be gone by the time he gets home in a couple of weeks. This is my friend that I have been helping out with her yard sales. So the plan now is that when he goes back to work we will start the yard sale up again. Her 10 x 20 storage shed is still pretty full so we have a lot of work to do. I am going to try and meet with her in the morning if not later today. I feel she needs more support than what a phone call can give. So for the next couple of weeks I see myself busy helping her and not being here much. What else can I do? I won't leave her high and dry.

YIKES! I hope she makes enough from those yard sales to hire a good lawyer. And that she has some time to sort out her assets. What #@()!$! she found. Even if he changes his mind and says he didn't mean what he said when he was drunk, it's time to move on. I'm glad you're lending what support you can (and what she'll accept.)

This could turn out to be very interesting before it is over. She will be leaving town to go live with a friend. At least that is what she said this morning. He has said and did other things that is upsetting but it is up to her how she handles things. I will be there for her all that I can.

@msiduri Thank you so much. She is one hard worker and now this guy doesn't want her to work. That was fine for awhile now he wants her out. Shame on him.

@velvet53 That's probably the best thing she can do. Of course no one can make the decision for her. Good that you are there for her. *fingers crossed*

You are a good friend . She's so lucky to have you .

So , i suppose the husband wants her out after a couple of weeks because he and his ex-wife are good again .

That is the way it is looking. She told me today that he doesn't want her to leave. She is still going through with her plans.

@SIMPLYD I don't know for sure. He has been known to do things like this and even throw things at him. He would of been history in my life if I was with him.

@velvet53 That's good to know . Maybe he told her that only because of his drunkeness.

I knew you were a dear!

Yes, that´s what good friends are for. It is a pity that she chose so bad as partners go. But noone can help her there. I hope you both have a great success with the yard sales.

Thank you wonderful lady. She used to work for him and then they got together. She knew he talked and saw his ex at times. I am going to find some more of my stuff to get rid of at the sale. I just need to get to the storage shed.

Wow, you are a super good friend! Oh geez, what a pickle to be in. I sure hope the yard sales do well. But in the end it seems like it's definitely time for her to move on . . . it may be rough for a while but she's sure lucky to have your support during this time!

@velvet53 If only we could solve all of our friends' problems, but just the fact that we are there for moral support I'm sure they appreciate greatly. You are wonderful for helping her out - and I hope you guys get all that out. If anything I hope your friend can figure out what's best for her life and go forward.

Thank you, my dear. It is going to be rough on both of us but more her than me. We aren't spring chickens and a lot of the stuff she wants to sell is heavy but we will make it. I just wish there was more I could do for her.

This is very sad. She is lucky to have a supportive friend who also helps in practical ways. Good luck with your efforts.

It seems to me that sacrifices are what really makes for true friendship. Relationship problems can be all consuming so knowing a friend is there to help with challenges means the world to people. It sounds like you will be very inconvenienced but i think you will look back and really feel good about what you have done.

Thank you, Sean. We try to help each other as much as we can. It looks like everything will start Saturday or Sunday and heaven knows how long we will be at it.
