So...I came in to work a few minutes ago and went over to say hi to Nicole, and she looked really upset. I asked her what was wrong, and she just looked up at me and started crying. So I asked her again, what was wrong, and she said "I'm leaving Jeremy, I can't do this anymore..." *sigh* I feel so bad for her...she has a 3 year old daughter with him, they just got married a year ago...but she's right. She shouldn't have to put up with his bullshit anymore. I mean, I haven't spent that much time around the two of them together, but when I was over at her house before the Irish Festival, he was just being really mean and cold to her, and she's told me about a lot of the shit he pulls, like not coming home until really, really late, sleeping all day, etc. I just wish I knew what to say to her or how I could help her through all of this, because she really is the best friend I have here in Rochester. It breaks my heart to see her crying like that, and I can't even imagine what she must be going through right now...anyway...
Gotta get my butt in gear and start doing some work. I'm sure I'll post more later.
Poor Nicole...all I can tell you is things you already know such as just being someone she can talk to about it, a comfort if she needs a cuddle or anything like that - basically just being a support like you would anyway. A good friend sticks around when thinks get tough and you, Erica, are an incredible friend. If anyone can help her through this, it's you.
ReplyDeleteGive her some hugs for me. I can't imagine how she feels right now...but I suppose it is good that she's breaking free of someone who, from the sounds of it, isn't good for her and may not be good for her daughter
