I keep my life simple...and just stay away from them.
yeah, i'd like to stay away too.. done that for years.. but it's getting a little too much..

Unless the person doesn't aknowledge it him/herself it is nearly impossible to help.
well one of the persons does admit that she has a problem when i confront her about this but when i ask why she doesnt do anything about it she just says.. I don't know.. ! that's something i don't understand..
