Cutting The Odd Friend Out
So personally about this contest I felt warm hearted and liking to share my experience with a really toxic extended family that later came to join us in our family at her late teen First experience with tife her name is boluwatife but we choose to call her tife we were doing our things individually and communally in the family not until tife came andEverything turned around.
she meddles into every little matter both the ones she was permitted to and not permitted to She started meddlingTife was my best friend before the sudden changes so I forget who she's and tell her about me she tires to advice me but I couldn't figure out it was all play along trick.
any time I told her anything within an hour it has become talk of the street into personal stuffs and siding any side in any little argument she was more like a pin to me but regardless I endured her nuisance just because we are family and very close relative for that matter.
Tife was my best friend before the sudden changes so I forget who she's and tell her about me she tires to advice me but I couldn't figure out it was all play along trick any time I told her anything within an hour it has become talk of the street
Starting from my neighbor to her status broadcasting my personal issue discussed with her every where at some point I felt she was bewitched an lots of thought in my mind pondering on them day And night
Funny enough it wasn't only with her family she does that our next door neighbor caught her with same character also and one day she was stepping out unknown to her she was planned to be beaten up by those people Tragedy of her life she would never forget happened.
when Ashes was poured on her and water and they started throwing stones at her until she ran away and come home so that day it was so obvious for her that she couldn't help it and was seriously crying.
At first I suggested we should inform the police but immediately I remember who she's to me and maybe it was all lies she was telling me but I have to play alongTife became more than my enemy as I tried advising her she flared up and began to rant with her voice very louder than mine so I tried escaping the scene she was trying to create by stepping out of the house.
oftenly I felt betrayed and heart broken,at most times sad because of Tife, the friend I lost in the subconscious of her nonentity.
I really felt bad for her at times; regardless of what she's been doing to me, I still took her as not only a friend but as a family, which I can never throw away for no reason.
What I did to restrict her was to first call her indulgence and give her a chronic warning telling her that any time I hear our family matters discussed outside our premises, it will be assured she's the information carrier
And all of us we the children of the family, would beat the hell out of her, although she firstly refused and said it wasn't her who was doing the whole of them until a voice record she sent to one of her friends was played there, and she really felt embarrassed so that's how she changed and became a better person again.
