Recently I've had to make the difficult decision between friends or family. Now although on regular circumstances I would choose family in a heart beat but this is where the dilema comes in.
My good friends D and B (full names not used for their own safety) recently broke up and B is severly depressed. He is on borderline suicidal and I really want to be there for him. There is going to be a party on sunday and B knows that D is going to be there and wants me to go with him. Normally I would be at the party regardless and now especially to be supportive to B.
Unfortunatly i told my cousins weeks ago that I would come and visit them for the long weekend off of school and I'm supposed to be leaving sunday morning. Now as much as I love my family, B and I are really close and I would not want him to kill himself.
After a few days of debating and long talks into the night with B I have decided that I should go to visit my cousins because it was somthing that I had promised to do but on sunday night B is going to call me when he gets to the party so that he can still talk with me and have an easy excuse to avoid D. D is also a very good friend of mine but is also the one guilty of cheating on his boyfriend B. (sigh) Hopefully it will work out between the because they really are in love, D just screwed up :/
So in the end I tried to keep it as even as possible between both friends and family.
