Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity
Guilty By Association
It ain’t what you do or say; it’s not where you go but who you know!
I’m guilty by association because I know you, him, and her. Wow! Do you know how to get sucked into someone else’s drama? Sure you do, just keep affiliating with any and all types of people. And you’ll be all caught up! You know if you lay down with dogs, you’ll wake up with fleas……….. There are so many clichés’ I can run past you, your head will spin. The most famous one of all is the golden rule, “Do onto others as you have them do onto you.”
Just getting to know someone and you think you know them well enough to have gained your trust. It can be a friend of a friend, a friend of a relative, or someone you’ve known for years, someone you’ve become very close to over the years and if they’ve done something, funny, good, bad or indifferent and you’re affiliated with them, you’re caught up in their stuff. You know, baby mama drama, kids and their arguments over toys, balls etc.
I’ve recently got myself caught up in a situation with my daughter’s best friend’s mother. She was struggling, with no means of transportation to get to her new job. I had a car being repaired in the shop and didn’t have the funds to get it out, so I offered her a deal, if she was to get my car out she could use it until she was able to purchase her own car. She was willing and used my car for four months, I offered her to buy the car, but she refused. After a month went by, she decided that she would purchase the car. We made a verbal agreement, that she would pay me $125.00 per week. But that failed. In April this year she was stopped by the Sherriff’s and the car was towed. She did not inform me of this matter until the week after. I received a letter from the towing services, and began receiving violations from FasTrak. I phoned the FasTrak service office to find that I have $1,200.00 worth of violations against me, from January through April 2007, and guess what, I’m guilty by association. The car is still registered in my name, and I am being held accountable for these violations. Why, you may ask? I’m guilty by association. Check out the breakdown of my associations; my daughter’s best friend’s mother and me. Because I have a big and good heart and I knew my daughter’s best friend, whose mother and I became acquainted, I’m out of some cash, and a so called friendship. Due to the fact of being guilty by association the state of California will hold on to the registering process of my car in 2008 and possibly a hold of my driver’s license and send me to collections for the payment of the FasTrak violation made by someone else.

I know you are VERY VERY disapointed with this woman. I am very reluctant to do things for people that can lead to legal matters. I sold a car to a guy who never went to register it in his name. What saved my ass is that I went to the DMV and showed them the paperwork that proved I sold it to him as soon as I did sale it. It got towed and I sent copies of proof that it was not my car.
I was asked by my boss for a favor that could get me into legal trouble if something went wrong. I already saw evidence that my boss will stab a person in the back to save his own ass so I refused to do the favor.
I discovered that I have relatives close by but I will not let them know where I live because some of them have a past history of stealing and hanging with drug dealers. Some are OK but I do not want the risk of a certain 3 of them knowing where I live. I have known them all my life so I just do not want to take the risk. Sad huh?
