Sometimes being brutally frank (as in: radical honesty" to borrow a phrase) is the best medicine when interacting with people who enjoy being The Victim or Drama Queens.

Yes, this sounds harsh...but it's either that or telling them that it's over because you can't play "shrink" with them all the time and that's not what good friendships are about. We have all been there. I wish I had learned this insight when I was a teenager. Good luck. Try being radically honest about the way this makes you feel, esp. if you believe this friendship is worth saving.
