These sound like my wife's ex-best friend. She was incredibly good looking in her teens and 20's and could manipulate guys better than anyone I've ever seen. It used to tick my wife off, but you overlook some flaws in friends. As she approached her 40's, her looks just weren't getting the results that she was used to and she was unable to cope with life without someone continually bailing her out. She turned into a disaster of the week queen. My wife and I helped her out several times culminating in a couple week stay at our place where she whined all night, complained about our lives, how lucky we were, and made it impossible to get to work. She moved from our place to a women's shelter and back to our place when she got thrown out (what does it take to get thrown out of a women's shelter?). My wife eventually cut off her friend and won't return her calls. We still talk about "The Houseguest from Hell".
You hate to lose old friends, but this one was better off lost.
