Unhide your message Aqua! Just fade out is the best way, you don’t need to make a speech.
Agreed. on the other hand i get the sense that you want to say a formal goodbye to her?

i dont understand the need for speeches and formal goodbyes but you could let her know how you feel, how exhausted you are. You still care about her but its been taking a toll on you and you need a break. Whether its permanent break it can be up to you in the future ie just fade out. i just feel like you still care about her a lot.

I do care, but EY! Hw long am I suppose to be there for her for? M tired!!! My other issue is that I am scared if I break up with her she might take it the wrong way and start spilling beans,I told her a lot of things,very private things .and she has vengeful tendencies

lol is that why she is making enemies left and right and getting in fights? Tbh even if all your beans came out, she'll still look like the bad guy in the end. She doesn't seem to have a good reputation already anw. If shes smart, she'll know that its not in her best interest to talk bad about you. Nobody would really take her seriously? If she's not, then i just suggest slowly fading out. Do you have to talk to her on regular basis?

Slow fade normally works with friends tbh. That and once they realize you don’t have the energy to care anymore I notice they start to handle their own butter more.

I had a gal who I was a bad enabler for. I didn’t want to do that anymore. Got tired of breaking up fist fights and dragging her drunk ass home and over tipping uber drivers for her being a belligerent drunk. So one night in mid crisis I just left. Said I tried to help all I could but there wasn’t anything more I could do. She freaked and called me 17 times. I ignored.

Next time I saw her she was sweet and mild mannered. She tried a few other times to act out but I just stood my ground. Never dropped my life to clean up her mess. Eventually she stopped calling and it worked out.
Your former friend was trouble,I like how you handled it.

Mine even has anger issues,she fights with everyone anywhere,and what I hate the most is that she likes blaming me for things that she did,or if I try to help her and things don't seem to run accordingly she wud blame me until I wanna give up,but because of my good heart,I find myself helping her again.

Like last month she was in jail because of fighting with a gal,then I looked for a lawyer for her,then the lawyer could not take her out on same day,she started screaming and kicking saying she wants refund.

However the lawyer managed to take her out the next day.

She sounds like a mess. This kind of people who don't appreciate others going out of their way for them... Just let her self-destruct. Cut your heartstrings now lol don't let her hurt or use you anymore. She is an adult and should be responsible for herself, not depending on others to clean up her mess. Let her face her consequences. Like the gal that Ellygant mentioned, Maybe losing your friendship will finally push her to face her issues and get better.
