Are mutual friends true friends?
Relationship Stress / by itstacha

...See more Hi all, Last week, I reported a domestic violence situation with my ex-partner. It sometimes doesn't feel like I've done the right thing because I've lost friends during this time, friends that I met through my partner. While I suppose, it's clear that they might not have ever been my true friends, it still hurts. It's made it extremely difficult to push through. It makes me feel like I've done something wrong. I valued one of the friendships dearly, so I reached out. She and her partner are currently housing my ex-partner, since he isn't allowed to live with me anymore. But, all she told me was that she didn't want to talk about anything with me anymore. She said it's affected her and her partner. They blocked me shortly after. It's heart-breaking because I think my ex-partner has been giving her false information. I know I should really focus on the recovery, but I'm lost for words with this additional lost. I don't know how to pull myself out of dark headspaces. I've been trying to fill the silence with music and tv series, catching up with friends, but it only helps so much.

Time to let go?

...See more There is a person that Ive built a friendship with, that I feel close with, but I guess after recent events, Im not so sure anymore. Our boyfriends, lived together, so we saw each other a lot. We went through some tough times together too. I was studying abroad at the time, and when I finished I left the country. But, I came back for my graduation, so I thought we could catch up. She was busy. She did give some reasons that were understandable, for not being able to meet, I suppose. Im feeling uneasy because Im afraid that she didnt think of me as a friend, the way I did. Im a little uneasy about the idea of rejection. I am planning on going back to do my Masters, and thinking of trying to reach out one more time, to cancel out all of my doubts, and leave it to action— cause then, at least I know what the truth is. On a side note, I also find that in most of my friendships, I reach out first, even though they are very good friends of mine. It makes me feel like there is something wrong with me.

...See more Hey everyone, My name is Tacha. As my thread title states, I'm new here :) I've become quite a private person over the last year, but I noticed (with much admiration) how supportive the community is. And that has really made me feel more at ease in discussing my struggles... I'm going through trauma and anxiety, which really takes over my days at times— I feel really guilty for not having enough control over it. Anyways, one thing I'd like to ask is if anyone could shed some light on their experiences with therapy here. I'm considering it, but there are many different perspectives floating around— Thanks for reading, Tacha x
