unfriendly

i've been un-friended! on facebook! ha!!!

by someone i've known for 23 years. someone i've taken into my home — not once over the years — but twice. by a delusional narcissist that i've endured and supported through countless relationships, drug addictions, roommates, job/unemployment situations, bizarre self-delusions, and emotional traumas.

by the same person who i recently broke up with because she betrayed, slandered me, and criticized my parenting decisions (she, who has no children). oh, and did i mention, she pirated my entire address book while living with me to use for her promotional purposes? (she thinks i don't know that). can you say frenemy?

i'm back in seventh grade. but with better technology!

it's not exactly unfathomable. she's still friends with everyone she "collected" from me. i think reading my happy-go-lucky fb updates and banter with the other mutual friend she deleted infuriated her.

i'll get over it. it won't be the first time.

anybody else break up with a long-term friend and live to tell about it?

I got dumped by a friend once. A really good friend, one of my best; she just stopped talking. As if she ceased to exist. Turns out she couldn't handle my new boyfriend. Felt just like any break up. There was pain and then after a few weeks, relief!

She had taken up so much of my time with her drama--and I had mistaken helping her with her crises for actual friendship.

You'll deal with this, think of the relief that is coming your way!-TD
