Without knowing the specifics, I can't judge whether I think you should cut ties or not. Only you can really judge that. (Sorry about the cliche but it really is true) It could go either way for me. I've cut ties with most people from my past but I do still get nostalgic & some I miss more than others.

I'm still friends with some of them from my past. I have a small circle of people I still consider close friends/family. Others are just acquaintances through FB & it's a "hi, how are you? How's your family?" kind of thing then we don't "talk" again for months or sometimes years.

I don't know if it's age related or what but I've drifted apart from most of the people from my past I used to call friends, but some of them used to be very close and my MIs destroyed those friendships. To be truthful, I also think that if they were truly as close of friends as they once claimed to be, they wouldn't have left me behind when the going got rough. My true friends/family stuck around & I've been there for them.

I've learned through the years to just let go of certain people. I cut them off like they did me. Maybe that's not always healthy but it rids my life of some of the pain once I get over them. That way I can move on with my life. That's also why I love my pets more than most people I know and those closest to me know that.
