I had a childhood best friend that I had to say goodbye to just a few months ago. I don't claim total innocence but for someone who has the same darn disorder as I do, she's extremely unforgiving about my symptoms! Anyway, it got to the point where I knew I was holding on simply because she was once a good friend to me.....at least I think she was once a good friend to me. (Hindsight is a bit more 20/20, eh?) The girl knew no boundaries, put her nose into ALL of my private business (while sharing nothing personal about herself), and so on. I couldn't handle the negativity and the backstabbing and.... It just had to end. It wasn't easy. I'll always love her as a person and wish her the best in life, but I have grown so much over the years, and no longer do we mesh well as friends. Its hard, but if you need to let go of your friend, you can do it. Don't hold on for the sole reason of "but we've been friends forever!" If you do hold on to the relationship, hold on to it because you enjoy being friends with the person she is today.
