poor friend

[Connemmara]

One of my very good friends is coming through a very hard time of poverty. She is having to sell her house to give half to ex-husband but this has been going on for 2 years and the property wont sell. Meantime I listen every single time to her tales of woe of having no money etc etc.

I do try to help out with buying ciggies (if she had not got them she would pull her hair out) anyway my problem is whilst I am comfortable off I feel guilty about her and sometimes I cant shake the guilt away feeling she does not have a way out. There is more to this story re her daughter too - lives with her - who is working all the hours God sends her but having to pay for a loan when she went to college and now a car because her job is so far away - she is getting it hard too. Sometimes I cannot believe it. My heart goes out to her and daughter. She will have money when the house is sold but when will that be.
