She makes poor life decisions, but FWIW, child support is NOT alimony. It is for the children and not the parent. If the kids are living with her, he is mandated to pay it even if she has a job.
I don’t think you should remain friends with her because she seems to have a lot of issues, but the kids will get child support until they turn 18.

Yeah. I think the past couple of week's I was at my wit's end with her. Too much drama, and I am just done with it.
I don't think I am going to cut it off just like that. I will definitely let her know how I feel and that I no longer will hear her drama. If she doesn't like it and gets all dramatic, that's on her. I will move on.
Aren't you the guy that once told us you manage your many friends and levels of friendship with a spreadsheet? This person needs to be moved to a different column.

It's interesting that you all say this. Because lately I have been thinking if she never wants to talk to me again because I am colder towards this and over all her drama I would be okay with that.
Yeah, I was wondering myself, OP, reading your story, why you got back together with her, after that initial rift. What was the point?
It puzzles me that this relationship is a model for what you think of as "friendship."
Have you had other friendships? Maybe you have nothing to compare it to.
I think it's worked because there has been distance. The six years of our friendship, only 1.5 is when we lived in the same city. Outside of that she was either living with her mother in another city or she moved to another city with her ex-husband. Also it was a little volatile between us when we were living in the same city. Then when she moved away things stabilized.
Also, I would say the past 3-4 years we didn't talk THAT much. We would exchange texts or calls maybe once every 3 weeks. It's been the last six months were communication has intensified. With that being said I also ignore her a lot. Because there are weeks where she texts me every day (not always drama) and I really don't need to talk to someone every day, unless close family our significant other.
For example, when she sent me a text about her ex-husband being arrested. i actually ignored her for 3 days and told her I was on DND and just didn't want to hear anything as I needed some quite time.
It was all manageable in that regard. And many times i have put a stop to it. So then she doesn't tell me any drama for months, and then little by little, she starts creep up again with it. But this time I am really done with it.
