Now, either you can walk away from her, being completely bitter about being lied to, or you could choose to do what I believe is the better, more compassionate thing.

I think you should be her friend, and try to get her some help. Now, I know that you did like her for what you thought she was, and now that you know the real her you don't really like her. Don't you think it would be a better thing to do to spare her the difficulty of losing someone she may actually care about, and try to help her out a little through life and addiction?

Sure, she may have betrayed you, but so what. She's got a serious problem. You mean something to her. I think the least you could do is just be her friend.

Walking away maybe the "strong" thing to do, but standing your ground and helping a person through addiction is much more compassionate.

completely agree. if you can manage to hold yourself together, I would try to help her (even if she doesn't want a relationship with you). It's the right thing to do in a world where the wrong thing usually prevails
