All the others are "so-call" Christians. They attend church regularly and I have attended church with a few of them. We traveled together, attended sported events and enjoyed night life together. Then when I really needed them they turned their backs on me. I've since moved out of state and it's been less than a yr. I did not change my phone number or email yet I have not heard from not one. I mailed out Christmas cards to them and did not receive any back in return. I have since made one new frd. She does not have BP but she has a close family mbr that does. That person use to live with her she has first hand and up close experience with BP

Those people who stopped talking to you because you're BP are horrible people, and they are small minded and I am sorry that they treated you like that. If someone takes the time to mail me a Christmas card, I always reply back to them somehow, it's just the decent thing to do. I say, forget about them, let them be a shadow of a memory past, and do not let them hold any power over you here in the present. It seems like your new friend is more sensitive to your BP-which is what you need. I hope it works out.
