Well, I guess it won't be huge. I started typing it all out, but to make it short, I hate it when friends choose to behave in ways that put them in danger and then, later on, accuse me of being the one to put them in danger because of acknowledging that I knew what was going on. As in, if someone else finds out what they did it will be my fault. Never freaking mind that it was them who did the deed and I have absolutely no culpability in this whatsoever.
That is ridiculous. It doesn't make any sense that it would be your fault whatsoever.
Walk away.

Message: I feel your pain. After 30 years of watching my sis in law not acknowledge her bi-polar illness, ignore her beautiful children who raised themselves because she was too busy working in her business and continue to abuse her body with drugs, I said So Long Idiot. Now I'm the bad person for not 'being there'. Go figure.

Some people's rationalizations are incredible. I'd be furious, too. Doesn't sound like much of a friend to me.

That's really unfair to you, vh. You did the right thing by keeping things to yourself after you figured out what was going on.
Next time she tries to make you responsible for her conduct just tell this friend, ''You're a grown woman. It's not my job to save you from yourself.''

Message: So many people never take responsibility for their own actions and when things go wrong they love to put blame on others rather then owning up that they are adults that did it to themselves.
Just let it go and don't worry about it.
