her problems and I listen. As a friend, of course I do my
best. I listen to her. I talk to her. I give her the benefit
of my advice. Every atom in my body screams 'move on;
don't allow that no-good psychopath ruin your life; most

am I thinking?
I've often heard it said that free advice is seldom
cheap. But the wrong advice can be even more costly.

of her situation. She will continue making excuses for
