Update: “Ready to Block” Responds

It’s time again for “Dear Wendy Updates,” a feature where people I’ve given advice to in the past let us know whether they followed the advice and how they’re doing now. Today we hear from “Ready to Block,” whose friend John had gone off his meds for schizoaffective disorder and was abusing other substances. She said that he was making her uncomfortable and she was debating blocking him but feared he’d find ways to contact and harass her. Here’s her update:

“I did end up blocking him. I felt that I had no choice. While I feel terrible for John’s suffering, I just couldn’t deal with always walking on eggshells around him. I dealt with his drama for over ten years, and I am done. Luckily he hasn’t tried to contact me. I admit that I do have a lingering feeling of dread that he will. None of our mutuals have discussed him, which has kind of surprised me. I guess he must have burnt through those bridges as well. I don’t hate him. I do wish for him to be happy, but I can no longer deal with the walking on eggshells and verbal abuse from him.”

You did the right thing. Hope for the best for John and enjoy the peace his absence in your life helps to provide.

I want to use this opportunity to tell everyone about Dr Kala who specialize in relationship problems and marriage issues. I was going through divorce when I met with Dr Kala and he helped me to stop my divorce and get my husband back to me. My husband filed for divorce because he saw another woman in his workplace and he said to me that he is no longer in love with me and decided to divorce me. I sought help online and I saw good testimonies about Dr Kala and I contacted him and explained my problem to him and he cast a spell to put an end to my ongoing divorce case and get my husband back to me within 2 days. If you need his help Email him at [email protected] or WhatsApp +2347051705853. His website is http://luckyspelltemple.wordpress.com
