I need some advice... About a year old my very best friend in the whole world moved to Indianapolis to go to the Aveda Institute. As long as I've known her she'd wanted to go to Aveda and do hair, so when she decided to finally take the plunge I wanted to do everything I could to help her.
Because of Elise, I can't always be there physically, but long story short I ended up LOANING her 2000 dollars to help her get started in a new place, get settled in, have money between finding jobs, etc. Well once she moved, our relationship drastically changed, which isn't too surprising since she lives 3 hours away and we both have busy lives. But eventually the only times I heard from her when she was in town was if she was looking for green, or needed to borrow more money. I wrote her a very long heartfelt letter explaining why I was so upset, feeling like i was being used, etc etc.
Well she decided she's going on vacation to LA at the end of the month. That's awesome, I'd love to go to LA. Problem is, I haven't seen a DIME of the money I let her borrow. She had promised me a 1000 by now, and the one time I brought up her paying me back she got so shitty I feel awkward bringing it up, but I shouldn't because thats a shit load of money and she knew it wasn't a gift. I thought we were good enough friends that I would never have to worry about her paying me back, but this whole vacation thing is EATING ME UP. what should i do? how do i approach this?
I'm the worst with confrontation

Maybe suggest a great was for her to pay you back is to fly you out to LA with her? I mean, if she has all this money now...
