Hello summerblueskies, the realization that you have had an abusive friendship can be enlightening and sad at the same time. Yes you have probably hit the nail on the head in that she had some real issues and was abusive because of her fear of abandonment. I am glad you no longer have this friendship, please allow yourself the time to grieve and it helps to talk about it too.
