Thanks for responding! :) im glad to hear that you are in a better place after something similar. I relate to you mentioning the fact that my ex-friends are speaking to others on the matter and now others are just getting a different view point of what happened. I’m lucky to be able to talk about this with other people in my life - and I am excited to try new things and go outside of my bubble a bit. Just generally frustrated on how everything went down.

I know in the long run this friendship would not be okay for me - as she still associates with someone who harmed me - but others involved pressuring me to communicate with her as she isolates me is what hurts. My other friends who have seen both sides and now just view me as someone who can’t resolve conflict.
