I posted a little while ago about a friend who ha dropped off the radar, and recently resurfaced. They posted on FB and mentioned financial struggles... so I sent them some $.
We talked and it was good to reconnect.
Then, they asked for more money.
Haven't interacted with me otherwise. Haven't reacted to my posts. Just asked for $ for pot (medical)... then a few days later asked for $ for a burrito.
Just asked for $ again.

Like, not even a "Hey, how are you?"...
So I told them I wasn't happy being treated as an ATM and that I'd hoped to revive a friendship, but that clearly wasn't how they see me.
I ended with "Have a good life"
I'll give it enough time to be sure they've seen that message and then I'm blocking them.

@tyghebright Helping someone in need is being a good person, letting them make you into a crutch is not. You did the tight thing calling them on it.
