impyAm I an awful person for this?
Cass has a friend, L, who lives in California. She and her husband have two kids, one who is ten(ish?) and one who is maybe two at the most. L and her husband have cheated on one another and ever since they got married, L has refused to get a job even when her husband was so stressed out over their finances he actually tried to commit suicide. This would have been Dec. 2013-ish, for those who like to have a time frame.
Also, L does a fair amount of drugs. I believe she did Spice the entirety of her second pregnancy, at least when she wasn't using weed. When they're around L, Cass and her husband show really poor judgment. Like, fantastically poor, the kind where you're like, "I'm sorry, you did what now? No, I refuse to believe you would be that fucking stupid because I know your family didn't raise a damn fool."
Sometime in February, L's husband quit his job. Remember, she refused to get a job for the last decade, so they've got only his paycheck to survive on and they weren't even managing that. Cass had to lend them money so they could buy diapers for their youngest.
Anyway, hubby there cashes in his retirement plan and in less than 10 days, they blow through ALL the money to the point that they're having to borrow money from friends again. Part of that splurge? Drugs, be they kinda sorta legal and some not. To the point that the kinda sorta legal stuff prompted the guy selling it to her to refuse to sell her anymore because they were using way too fast.
Now. L and her husband are divorcing (I believe this was announced right after their ten day binge) and L is moving across the country to live in C's guest bedroom with the kids. She's set up a gofundme-kinda thing and absolutely no one has donated.
I'm waiting for Cass to ask why I haven't shared or donated, but I refuse to because L has proven that as of two months ago (less than!) she still cared more for getting high than she did for being a goddamned adult. I don't trust her with any money and if I'm setting money ablaze, I'll give it to my brother or something.
Still, it comes up every few days on FB because someone will share it and I'm like, "maybe I should...?" but then the rational part of my brain says no and I close the whole thing down.
If I were completely impartial on this, I don't think this would bother me much aside from feeling bad for the kidlets, but I don't particularly like L for all sorts of reasons so I feel that maybe, just maybe, I'm a little biased.
Still, they blew through like $30,000 in less than ten days. Who the fuck does that?

Date: 2015-04-10 11:07 pm (UTC)Frankly I'd call CPS on her ass - she's clearly an unfit parent and I feel bad for the kids having to live like that.
And no, you're not an awful person, so don't even think that! These are awful people and I'm not sure why Cass doesn't see that. :(

Date: 2015-04-11 04:13 pm (UTC)I feel so bad for her older kid who I have had the pleasure of meeting because she deserves better than what she's getting. I do wonder how things will play out when they're back in town and if L will finally manage to grow up. I also half wonder if around my birthday Cass is gonna wake up and be the proud guardian of two kids.
*hug* Thank you. :)
