PS - I sent a brief email to my old friend this morning, apologizing for the one i sent last night. I told her that the experiences with Mr. * were something i needed to work out, and that i should not have dug it all up for her, that it sounds like she has gotten past it or forgotten about it and moved on.
I feel sad though. I don't understand why what i did was so wrong. i just wanted support from my friend.
