I just had to end a long-term friendship due to mental and emotional abuse. I won't go into full detail but after about a week of constantly being put down I started having my set back and feeling like I did several years ago when I was diagnosed with depression.

I still want to try and be able to work on rebuilding a friendship with this person because I believe 13 years is too long to just walk away like nothing happened. He's admitted that he wouldn't mind working on things later also. The problem is with his baby mama. She can't stand me and is always pushing those certain buttons that make me snap and start a fight.

I know that if me and him do try to work things out I have to keep her in mind along with all the hurtful things he has said.

I don't know if it's worth saving anything over just to have to possibly go through all that again, even though I do love him and care for him.
