Just wanna say that I'm really sorry all of this has happened. I also care very deeply about my friends and want to protect them, so I can only imagine how frustrating and stressful it must be to have your own friend behave in this way. In fact, I've been in a similar position to you in the past, myself. It's such a frustrating and incredibly draining place to be in. I hope that Gill makes the right decision, but if they don't, it's absolutely not your fault and I applaud you for stepping away. This is Gill's mess, not yours. Regardless of if this was their mothers' actions or not, they were the one to make unwise purchases and now they are the one withholding thousands of dollars from innocent artists. I hope that you can get some much needed rest and focus on yourself for now. Even when we care deeply about other people, sometimes you just have to tell them 'no more' and look out for your own wellbeing.
Thank you for your comment. I've been watching as many threads as I can (I'm still very new to TH so forgive me for missing some, just send them to me so I can read). I'm afraid I can't rest yet, I'm transferring to another college. It's been my dream since 2010 to finally finish my Bachelors. I can't rest because I'm so close, it's why I'm so passionate for artists and artwork.
Don't worry about me, I'm so small in the big picture. I appreciate it though, I came into this fully expecting to have my own account banned and be marked as a scammer for my actions. I'm doing this because that's how much Gill matters to me, because these artists matter to me, because their livelihood and passion matters to me. I'm not the kind of person to blindly defend someone, what I saw was my friend had something horrible happen and I wanted to see how I could help them. But you are right, sometimes there are points where we have to say "no more".
Godspeed on the college thing! I had to switch majors and colleges a few years back, was definitely stressful but you'll get there! I'm in my final semester now... Been a long road but it's totally possible! Wishing you lots of luck. ^^

I promise I will be okay, I'm just exhausted.

Thank you! It's really tough for me but I relish in the chance. Didn't except so much writing to be involved but it is what it is.
