Blood Is Thicker Than Water


Most people live by a basic rule that blood is thicker than water. Basically,our families come first and everyone and everything else is secondary. But what happens when someone we care about has those waters muddied by someone who doesn't have their best interests at heart??
I have a friend who I've known for years. We were those people who could go months without talking and then pickup as if no time had passed at all. We would talk and hangout and were close with each others families. So close in fact that my friend even had keys to my home. But then everything changed.

Seemed like it was overnight practically.
In fact it had. My friend met someone and immediately everything was different. She was young,immature,and a master manipulator. She managed to control my friend without him even knowing it. After a few weeks of turning us against each other,she won. She had successfully caused enough drama and stress to boot me right outta his life. Then began to do the same between him and his sisters. Even sinking to name calling and omitting herself from stories that she in fact was the mastermind of. She'd say and do anything to make him take her side and turn on his family.

Things became more complicated when she became pregnant after being with him less than 3 months. Time and time again we all tried to get along with her. None of us hated her or enjoyed the drama. But every single time things would be going well she'd come out of nowhere with some reason to fight or some supposed story of something we had done. Each and every time he'd take her side. Even over his sisters and disgustingly over his own mother. And now that the child has been born its only getting worse. Now she's using their child as leverage in arguments.
How can someone choose a person like this over their own family and friends?? Is this what the future holds,choosing drama over love and loyalty. I was raised to always stick up for my family and that nothing was ever more important. Sadly,it appears now that all that matters in this world is getting ahead and furthering our own agendas. I'll say this much,it'll be a cold day in hell before anyone comes between my family and I. That's that!
