You actually have no personal obligation to keep friends that you make you unhappy. It doesn't matter if you're related to them, it doesn't matter if you've known them since childhood, it doesn't matter if they helped you out of a jam once. If someone is actively bringing negative energy into your life then talk to them about it or end the friendship. You are responsible for your own happiness. It may not be your fault that people hurt or take advantage of you but it is ultimately your responsibility to protect yourself from those people. No one else will do it for you. Y'all need to be more mindful of the company you keep and more willing to make adjustments to it; self love and self care take effort.
