Someone I know has a person in their life who continues to force their loved one into the friends life. The friend has said for years upon end that the forced person is forgiven. The friend does not agree with the thinking of the forced person's mentality. In other words, this person who is being forced upon my friend (for friendship purposes) has caused so much emotional pain to my friend. My friend will engage with the person who is trying to force the other person to hang out and then my friend becomes so emotionally damaged, drained, and has trouble recovering from the conversation for a day or so. My friend does not agree with the concept of lies associated with that person. In sum, the daughter associated with the friend was raised to believe she was adopted and then told that her father and mother were really her grandparents and that her brother was really her father. My friend was not directly involved in those lies, but the person who wants my friend to associate with the person who produced those lies continues to ask years and years and years for my friend to be friends with the person who lied. My friend already forgave this person. My friend wants to try to be a good Catholic. My friend is at the point where she will need to stop talking to the person she knows who married into the person's life also. The person who married into the woman who created the lies (and then some many more lies) is a direct relative to my friend. My friend may have to stop talking to the immediate relative (family member). Is it a sin to "cut" these people out of my friends life. I mean for my friend to cut these people out of her life for sanity purposes. My friend is always triggered when in conversation with the direct family member. How could I advise her.
