...See more Hey everyone. Recently I have decided to end a friendship with my so-called best friend of 10+ years and her fiancé. All I need to do to make it official is send them the letter I wrote to them, but I could use some well wishes and support because I find myself scared of sending it. This relationship has been toxic for some time now but I didn't realize it until the last few years. They do not support me at all and constantly make me feel guilty for nearly every decision I make. They make me feel like a bad friend and a bad person for hanging out with and having fun with other people. They put me down all the time, calling me and my actual friends (who helped me realize how awful they are) terrible names, and worthless human beings. They refuse to apologize or talk about things with me when I try to engage with them and post passive-aggressive comments aimed at me to make me feel bad instead of telling me upfront that there is an issue. They blame me for their depression, and told me this while I was at the hospital visiting my grandmother who recently passed away due to cancer, and didn't show any real sympathy at all. This is just the nutshell. Other people saw this relationship's effect on me long before I did, and I suppose I've been feeling a bit trapped and scared to speak up because of how they might react. And now I'm scared to even send the letter. I could really use some help and support. Thank you.
