The letter from 'Heavy Sigh' addresses the challenge of dealing with an uncomfortable friendship due to Martha's bipolar disorder and her self-medicating behavior. Despite her husband wanting to maintain his friendship with John, 'Heavy Sigh' feels that the situation is compromising her own health and safety. The recommendation is to have an honest conversation with her husband about her boundaries and to directly communicate her concerns to Martha, emphasizing that she cannot continue the friendship without change.
"Tell your husband that Martha's behavior compromises your health, safety, and comfort, and that you're done."
"It's important that you communicate this with Martha rather than having it go through your husband and John, so they're not wrapped up in trying to make excuses for Martha."
