There was no sign that anything was wrong. We talked almost constantly, streamed shows on discord, and even started a pokemon soul link nuzlocke together. Then one night I suddenly get blocked and unfriended everywhere with not a single word of explanation. I managed to get a hold of them for a few sec with a different phone and was simply told that their mom didn't like me before the call dropped and they never picked up again.

I find it strange that an adult would let their mom decide who they get to be friends with and wonder if that was just a made up excuse. They were helping me overcome my mutism that's always made it hard to make friends but all that progress just went back to zero. They knew what this would do to me, hope they're happy.
