Struggling whether to celebrate nye with mom and sis or with my only friend left

[Against_the_current]

Now my only irl friend is a drug addict girl who just got out of the mental hospital. And actually im struggling so much because I have to either celebrate new year with mom and sis or with her. And she doesn't want to celebrate,we would just hang out. Rn she got a breakdown and broke up with her boyfriend and is alone and i was just thinking my family isn't so bad,i will go with them, and now I worry she's alone.Now mom doesn't seem so scary, but i don't know whether leaving my friend alone would be good or terrible for her. My sister told me to not be home, probably thinking about the past. Idk. So stressful holidays

Edit : When i wrote that mom wasn't scaring me, now she is

I think you're right. Tbh i wouldn't be in such dilemma if it wasn't my mom triggering me. Maybe im too emotional to take desisions rn

Hi ATC.

A suggestion if I may , why not ask if U can't take ur friend with U to go to be with mom & sis & it could be a positive experience for ur friend & hopefully ur mom won't trigger U as there is a guest who is a bit fragile & hopefully ur mom being a mother would open her arms & welcome ur friend too.

All U can do is ask . As for NYE , both my daughters have their boyfriends & fully expect them to go out & enjoy themselves , I actually don't mind being at home on my own as I usually listen to an audiobook & around Christmas & New Year I love not only reading & watching but listening to A Christmas Carol by Mr Dickens.

It's a bit like ur situation .I wish U a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year .

Thanks. Same to you. I better not bring her but thanks for showing me parents have nothing against kids being outside and resting

Listen to your gut. I’d be there for a friend who needed me at such a bad time. Mom and sis have each other. Just my opinion … 🎁❤️

She's scary since i was a child, nowadays mostly i get scared for her health, mental and physical, because of her drinking. And no she doesn't want help, i hate when people suggest it and I can't force her
