I grew up with four friends, similar backgrounds, we had great dreams. My dream was the most simplest and most basic, they had bigger dreams but as we grew older, life presented it’s challenges and I watch all my friends give up.
University and our chosen course of study made it even pronounced. Now we are graduates, I am doing well for myself, they are barely getting by.
I support them to the best I can but to what end? I have literally become their second daddy that they are always calling me when they get into trouble.
I recently find myself distancing myself, I no longer want to hang out with them, the topic we discuss whenever we are together is nothing motivating. I have reasons to cut off the friendship however I am feeling guilty.
We’ve been friends most of our lives, leaving them doesn’t sound good, they were with me at my lowest and what if their little efforts in the past finally pays or what if luck shines on them and they become even better than I am ?
Please what should I do ?

Chairman, your reasoning is valid… You can only support them occasionally doesn’t mean that you should shoulder their burden for them… They also need to grow and develop on their…. They need to figure out things by themselves… You need to limit your time with them, not totally cut them off and focus on yourself to build your own future…
