Dear Amy: I love my friend “Charlene,” but she is the very definition of high\u002Dmaintenance.
She drinks way too much – every day – and sleeps with strangers she meets in bars. The problem then becomes that she thinks she is in a relationship with them, and is then crushed when things don’t work out. And they never work out. I’m not exaggerating.
Understand that as long as she has you as her soft and non-judgmental place to fall, she doesn’t need to face the underlying source of her drama. Giving to charity is not the problem. I believe many of these charities are not using her money wisely, or are completely random charities in far-flung places that have nothing to do with the many causes that might actually affect her life.
What do you think? I’ve tried to look up some of these places on charity watchdog websites, but most don’t even show up on them !Some “charities” seem to exist mainly to hook generous and concerned older people into the cycle you describe.
