(61,066 posts)best friend teacher that I taught with. I twice loaned her 1000 dollars She promised to pay me back.as she had s kids. Then I find out she had her friend from Arizona come and the money was used to rent a Cadilac van to ski resort. I asked for the money to be paid back, She cried and said she didn't have it and would pay me back with the insurance reimbursement we got at the end of the year. I told her that I wanted any money left over, and I wanted paid 100 a paycheck (twice a month) with the rest being paid at the end of school. At that point I no longer considered her my Bestie as the money was to be used for food and toys. That;s what she told me. Learned a lesson NEVER give out money . After I had a concussion from falling down the stairs at school and fired. She never called, sent a card or visited. Right before this Christmas she called. I had not spoken to her since I was fired 2018. I had nothing to say to her.
I realized that she was not my friend. Not just the money, but in almost all ways it was a one way friendship, I learned it later they you.
Take care , you are loved.
