I'm the anon that replied to you above. And yes, you will have to just break it off completely.

We had fought at one point and I tried to break off the friendship at that time, but then we talked and she insisted that she would change and that we'd work on our issues, that all the stuff that happened in the past was water under the bridge. Things seemed to be okay for a few days. But then a week later she reverted back to her previous behavior and I finally had enough. After a very pissy text exchange and a discussion online, I stopped talking to her completely.

I felt the same way as you do now, because she didn't have many friends and she admittedly had friend abandonment issues, but for your own mental and emotional health, you have to do it.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm concerned about, because she's placated me before and things are usually fine for a little while, but it just keeps happening. And the fact that she openly admits that when she gets like this she twists my words around into something bad just leaves me with nothing to say. Which also isn't acceptable. So it's like...rock, hard place, etc.

I love her to death, and I don't want to have to end our friendship, but it's just...too stressful for me to try to figure out anymore. I just wish I didn't feel so guilty and selfish for feeling like this.

I'm glad to hear you came out of it all right, despite being in a similar situation. Thank you for telling me about it.

Urgh, the twisting the words around to suit her... Are we sure it's not the same person? Ahaha. Because she would do the exact same thing to me.

I did feel guilty for a little while, but I knew that it was the right thing to do. She eventually sent me a package along with a letter of apology, and wanted to be friends again, but the contents of the package were a little creepy. I knew then that I had made the right decision because I now had no doubt she would fall back into the same habits that she had been in before. The guilt will fade eventually, and you'll feel much better in the long run. It definitely won't be easy, but as time goes on you'll eventually be wondering why you didn't do it earlier.

Fortunately I had (and still have) another friend who was far more level-headed and had also gotten out of an emotionally abusive relationship, so she was pretty much my support when I was going through the whole thing. I hope that things do work out for you, and if telling my story helps you out, that's fantastic. I don't want other people having to suffer through what I went through.

Ahahaha, can you imagine if it was the same person? I'd shit bricks. Because this isn't the first time she's done this, apparently. In fact, I was the one who got her through the fallout of the last one, and at the time I thought said friend was unnecessarily harsh, but...now I think I understand where she was coming from.

I do have other friends to lean on should this plummet south further than it already has, which I'm thankful for. So I suppose I'll just have to bite the bullet and go through with it.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-23 05:25 pm (UTC)(link)
That would be so weird if it was the same person. But it would kind of make me sad too, because obviously she hadn't learned her lesson at all.

With the support of your other friends, you should be able to get through it just fine. But yeah, a clean break is probably for the best.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-23 07:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh man do I have some emails I'd kill to share with you guys. I had someone just like this in my life, and I can't even begin to recount the story... @_@

(Anonymous) 2012-10-24 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Man, I'm glad to know that I wasn't the only one who was in this situation. I mean, it's a terrible thing to go through, and it's sad that a lot of people can act like that and think that they're right to do so.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-24 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
At least tell me yours had the decency to not wax poetic like a thirteen-year-old wannabe goth angstmuffin.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-24 02:15 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha, fortunately it did not. Wow, now I really want to see these emails.

(Anonymous) 2012-10-24 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
I shouldn't post them in public. Do you have a sockpuppet account I can IM with? XD
