What's a little money between friends?
A few months ago I generously loaned my credit card to a friend to help her get her car fixed. She was desperate and really in a bind. She is a recently divorced, single mother struggling to get her life back together again. Anyway, she took a few liberties with my credit card. Not only did she have the main item repaired on her car, she also had 2

Apparently you couldn't. If you could it would have been your money, not someone else's who was nice enough to let you use their card in the first place.
I don't like clingy people, I find it weird and creepy. Like I always have to watch them. I don't like to feel obligated to a person or friendship. Doing something in the past is no excuse for the present. I think she is lucky to even have someone who is willing to help.
But, as my mom says, 'You never do something for anyone expecting anything in return. You do it because you want to and leave it at that.'
The lack of mutual respect would be enough for me.

I don't know the level of friendship you have with this friend of yours, but, I assume, it must be that intimate and deep for you to trust her with your credit card. I agree with you that it's not the money issue that makes you rant and fume like this - it's the way she treats you. And girl, she treats you real bad! It's just a one way road with her. You give, she receives. And that sucks, big time! It's not that we expect our friends to repay every kindness we show them. While it may be true that whatever stuff that was given/done should not be expected in return - we are only human with feelings and needs. I think its only fair and not asking too much that a certain amount of courtesy or appreciation is extended from time to time.
Whatever happens between you and her...I know you will be at peace knowing that you did your part in being her friend.
