hurt and seem to not be heard TW
Trigger warning
tonight we really could have used support and yes we asked a question and how others might handle this as we unsure right now
the friend some of you might remember what was going on. in march we end the friendship due to unsuspected for our boundaries well tonight she texted us said they could not find our ex boyfriend we did text back saying we did not know were he was and not talked to him in long time. we was being kind and thoughtful why we texted her back
after that she called we did not answer and then she texted call me we did not answer again then she left a voice mail but it was about her dad when he died in February and that she changed her feeling about that but at first she stated she had changed we do not believe she has and if so why did she not state she changed why we end the relationship then that she work on the issues
so we did try to explain in chat only thing stated that we needed to learn boundaries and well that why we left friendship due to she not respected our boundaries then got mad when we kelp them even made it about her abandonment issues like we was to like not have personal space due to that we feel she needs to own her own issues and work on healing them are we wrong
another one in chat stated she still wants to be friends but as we explained it was one sided friendship that was clear she also was gossiping about others telling us the stuff at club we no longer was going to club due to the drama there it was effecting our mental health so was being her friend we known her 8yrs met her right after we moved here out of the daily abuse from family she reminds us so much of our mom and her actions too
so we end this friendship one other time it was for a year but when we became her friend again out of kindness she had not changed at all so we feel it be same this time too
so well we unsure to risk it again as it was bad on our mental health really bad we after ending friendship doing much better mentally she unwilling to do healing work blames others for upsetting her she will not even see a therapist now say she know it all due to she went to collage and has a social workers degree but she never was one never worked as one at all
but she unable to even work on like CBT skills to help she will not try anything at all say none of them work for her but not wanting to learn new ones or try new ones
so this added a lot of stress on us as she expected us to entertain her when she was bored she wanted to talk on phone for hours but if we said anything that we needed to have support in she say she had to go every time
so think it was tonight awful others could not support us listen to us everyone in room stopped talking we was not there to added drama at all we support others here a lot but seem when we need support it like was tonight sadly
we do know some who do support us when we need it even if they unsure how to they listen
today been awful day we are having apartment inspection in morning so stressed out about that seeing we had surgery last Wednesday and Thursday the note was in door it for all apartments in park but we get very little little notice before hand our apartment was mess still have things to do too
then this added stress and stuff is weighing on us
thank you everyone who read this all
@stormieandpawsIt sounds like today has been incredibly overwhelming for you with so many different things happening at once. Dealing with this friend, the stress from your apartment inspection, recovering from surgery, and feeling unsupported all at the same time would be exhausting for anyone.
You have been setting boundaries and trying to protect your mental health, which is really important. It makes sense that you feel unsure about reconnecting with this friend when her actions in the past have been hurtful and stressful. Wanting people to respect your space and limits does not make you wrong.
It’s understandable that today felt awful and heavy. You’ve been carrying a lot, and it’s okay to acknowledge that it’s been too much. Reaching out here shows strength and self-awareness, and you deserve support and care as you navigate all of this.

thank you talked to our one friend that a retired disabled social worker she said if we start the friendship back with the ex friend she going to kick us lol as she say we given her to many chances over last 8 years yes we did it due to wanted to be kind to the person but enough is enough she told us too we care about the ex friend a lot but she unwilling to face her issues too
lol but ya the friend who we know 20+ years she right but we are very caring person so she said would you walk on glass over and over we said no she said it same thing when you take one back that unwilling to face issues so we still will not talk to the ex friend but it hard
