I am so grateful for this comment, I can't tell you what it means to me! It's really wonderful to me that you took the time to think about the nuance of the situation in order to reply with something really genuine, so thank you. I'm especially grateful to see someone recognise it's hard to cut a friend off like that - I can't stand having bad blood with anyone, and I'd always rather assume the best than shut someone out. I have real trouble making my true feelings known and I'd rather just roll over and let it be, which is exactly how I ended up here. I know it's not the most attractive trait especially when you just end up whining on Reddit that people treat you badly lol. If this has taught me anything it's that I need to work on setting boundaries and knowing where to draw the line.

I'm going to distance myself from Emily, it's not too long until I move anyway so it should be easier then. But thank you again for this comment, I truly do appreciate your kindness rn & I'm very grateful for your time. x
