UGH!

One insi-winsy little posting on my facebook as turned into a huge mess of people ganging up on this guy i'll call (Deeply Wounded N). DWN is this guy i've been talking to for a long time now. We met back in high school. He's one of those people whose constantly dealing with a crisis for some reason or another. Every other day it's a new suicide note about how his life's gone down hill. And it's never ever his fault. I understand the emotion in a way. I was like that for a long time and sometimes I do feel like that. And I mean, everyone needs someone to complain to right? But it's the least to say all the advice and help has been weihning on my view of him as a person.

Everyone around me has been fed up with the million text messages from him. So, he posted something slightly rude. I didn't mind it because it's just how he is. And everyone in my family attacked him. It's a double edged sword. They're sticking up for me in one of the greatest ways possible, but I feel bad. Because I know he's there in front of his computer probably crying about how we're ganging up on him. It's not good to get bullied or picked on even if it's long over due. So, here's my predicament. Do I apologize and keep giving him advice because I feel bad even though I know he's just one of those people who likes to play damsel in distress or do I just let it go and move on with my life where I have a wonderful child who deserves more of my attention than i'm giving her?

Hmm.... Rooting for the underdog does not work when you're the bigger dog...
