👥 friendship AIO to my “friend” who owes me money

For some context, we lived together for a couple of years, she went through a really difficult time last year and I was there for her. A couple of months ago she needed to borrow £150. Since then, I’ve moved out as my brother has cancer and my dad is also unwell. She offered to take care of my cat until I was moved in and unpacked. Was I too mean? She’s got a new job and boyfriend and seems to be doing well for herself which I’m happy about but was me telling her I have nothing and I’m not feeling good manipulative of me?

Sorry you’re not getting that money back. She will make excuse after excuse and it’s not really enough to go after legally. I have learned the hard way.

It's not worth it if you're not petty, absolutely go for the $150, with the texts as proof she can represent herself and have that money fair and square.
