So heres a list of the lies she's told me over the past couple of months; her mums got breast cancer, her dad has two years to live, her mum and sister are going to prison for 5 years for fraud, she recently got attacked in a club because of me. The last one is definite rubbish and It's left me in a place of not knowing what to do?I can't confirm whether or not these have all been fabricated but other small lies are always surfacing and she's very melodramatic. So I ask what would you do in this situation? I 've tried to give her some space but she's messaging asking to meet up and I really don't know what to say to her to get out of it? Please help!

 I'm with Auntie BimBim
Tell her straight up, I can't be friends anymore when you spread malicious lies about me. (the club thing) After that? Id just block her and delete her.
I think it's really impossible to be friends with someone who lies so SEVERELY just to get attention.... (I mean "giving" your family members cancer for attention? that is pretty messed up!!)

 Be straight with her, tell her the fraudulent story she told about you causing her to be attacked in a club is the reason you don't want to meet up with her as a result.

 I have had this happen to me, and well I disowned the friend after she told everyone in my home place that I was prostituting myself. The thing is the truth will always come out in the end. It sounds like your friend has a serious illness and she does need help. These lies can ruin others lives. Can you talk to her parents about this? Tell them what has been happening? She needs to see a therapist and she needs to know this is not acceptable.
