I am purposely keeping this as anonymous as possible. We’re all in our mid/late 20’s, and gender isn’t important in this case, I think. I have known my best friend since high school. They’re an amazing person and normally wouldn’t go around spreading their business, but I’m really concerned. For the past year, my friend as well as their partner have been off their medications, for insurance reasons and just not liking how they make them feel. I completely understand, having my own insurance problems as well, but now it's really affecting their once stable lives. They have been hanging out with a new crowd, and while I wouldn’t have cared, they aren’t the best influences on my friend. They get high at work, one friend is an alcoholic and drinks at work (strong shit in a 40 oz waterbottle), theft, talks of violence… It's a lot. Now, due to neglect, they’re being evicted from their home. I believe my friends as well as their partner need guidance, and while I have talked to them about their friends I am told I worry too much. I am so scared my friend is going to end up heartbroken, homeless, in jail, or worse. I think my best friend would listen to their parents, but that wouldn’t guarantee any type of change. They’re adults, they’re free to do what they please. There’s also a chance that if my friend found out I told their parents about all of this, they would get very angry with me, which I think I have made my peace with. I want my friend alive and okay, even if it kills our own friendship. So WIBTA? What would you do in this situation? Should I tell someone what's going on, or just wash my hands of it for my own sake? Friend, if you see this and figure out it's you, I’m sorry… I'm scared for you, and just want you safe.
