Its sad but sometimes in life human beings let us down and don't behave the way we expect them to or the way they should. We just have to learn to cope with it and not let it hurt us too much. Not everyone will do this. There will be people who will treat you nicely too.

Soda pop she says she feels sorry for this person. A lot of people don’t like her. Says that she will not spoil our friendship. But I feel she already has. My friend has big family problems, son and grandson in prison, other son and daughter drug addicts, and I’ve stuck up for her and stuck by her through it all. I think that’s why I’m so hurt now.

Talk to your friend EllieAnne see what she says about this other person and the lies.
People are friendly for all sorts of reasons and you can't restrict others because you have a problem. Don't let this upset you or lose a friend before you know the full story.

I have a 'friendship' problem as well.... a needy, attention seeking friend who I've decided to cut off from my life....she's toxic, complains about everyone and everything..... very 'tight', mean.....I've had enough.
As regards to your friend, I'm surprised she's still friends with this person who has been spreading lies about you. Is there no such thing as loyalty?

Aibu to be upset by this.? A long term friend has over the past few years become friends with a person I’ve known for ages but we’ve never been close. She’s the sort of person who needs to be the centre of attention and resents our long term friendship. She has been telling my friend and others lies about me ( my friend knows they are lies) but I keep seeing pics on fb of the two of them out together. If it was the other way round I’d have nothing to do with her. I’m really hurt about this.
