Say What?

My girlfriend that I haven’t talked to in a while called me early Saturday morning. So early that it woke me up, but that’s ok, because she has been MIA for a while now. First off, let me say that the child has issues. She has so much potential to do anything in life, but she is so unfocused. She has no direction and just ends up taking meaningless jobs, while trying to plan out her dreams. Once she gets a plan, it usually only lasts a little while before she gives up and has another “life-long dream” to follow. She is constantly struggling for money and because of her situation, her mother keeps her son most of the time. There are a whole lot of other issues surrounding her son and his father, but I won’t get into all that. The whole point of this story is what this girlfriend is doing now. She told me that a guy she knows is doing some “promotion” stuff at a celebrity filled party this 4th of July. He invited her to come, saying she could make $1500. The conversation when like this… “FOR WHAT???” “Well, just for going and having a good time.” “What kind of good time?” “It’s nothing. There’s a whole group of girls going… He runs an escort service.” “An ESCORT SERVICE!! So, what if someone wants you to go home with them?” “That’s not allowed. We all go together and leave together. I don’t have to do anything.” “You think they are going to pay you $1500 for not doing anything?” “It’s not like that. Plus I can really use the money. I’m not going to do anything.” I just don’t know what to do with her anymore. She is certainly not the person I knew before. I try to be there for her, but it’s really hard when she disappears and then calls to tell me stuff like this. I’m trying to seem supportive, but what do I say to her?

Just tell her you find it hard to be supportive of her. Your girl has issues, going from one extreme to another. I don't know what's changed her over the years, but she'll need you when she finally finds center. And she'll be glad you stuck around. Better you than me. :)
