Hi Fuzzy, Really sorry you're IRL ""friend"" let you down/ But that really is their loss at the end of the day. You did give them much more than they realised in your trust/friendship and could have given them a lot more but they left not realising a thing, I take it, and with nothing really. Now that's really sad for them. You still have those amazing qualities to give though that are worth SO much. I can understand how that may be difficult right now, but in time, with the right people in your life they are going to be SO lucky, and you ARE going to have/HAVE GOT so much more a meaningful life/outlook than your ""friend"" has. You've shown your worth in all of this!!

As for the doctor: well it can be easy to feel intimidated, taken aback, hurt, dejected.......(so many feelings!) if your trust is violated and I can completely understand if you couldn't or didn't even think to confront him. I think there are plenty of people (!) who might not.
But if I can't convince you to show someone your claws if it happens again?? Can I??? No you're a nice bear!! then walk away and at least know in YOURSELF that they just AREN'T worth your time, effort or any suffering!! You ARE better than any of that!!
Hugs
Alison
