I cant speak to the drunkard ever again, I really wished for them to be the best version of themselves but they've ruined any goodwill me and the sober friend had for her. Now were genuinely so lost as what to do. The sober friend is closeted so can't talk to anyone about it, plus there's no way to tangibly prove it so the drunkard will get off Scott free.
As for me, I feel so ashamed I had so much time for such a broken individual, I wanted to see them better themselves and for a while that was the case. Now I feel like I've lost a friend, as well as having to deal with them being a monster. As for my sober friend, I want to do everything I can to help them, but naturally they need time to themselves.
I guess I need advice on how to process all of the moving parts going on here.
