True friendship requires not just being there for the person but also calling them out when they mess up. And it’s not always easy to know where to draw that line.
Reddit user Unlucky_Lead3290 recently came to the platform’s ‘Am I the Jerk?’ community to ask where she fell on the spectrum after a particularly shocking weekend.
After her friend dropped her kids off at the woman’s apartment unannounced and went missing, she did some detective work and realized she was being used like a free babysitter. Concerned about the children’s safety, she contacted the authorities to ensure they were being looked after.
But when the friend returned, she went off the rails, accusing the woman of being selfish and lacking empathy for a mother who just needed a break.
