You have good replies from Breezy and Bill. I don't think you burn bridges. Actually sometimes bridges need to be burned. You can try to fix a relationship only to re-traumatize yourself. I have done this with friends. I also have long term friends where I have had no problems at all. So I know it is not all me. When we are in crisis, it is soooo hard to function. I think you did well for what you were going through....outstanding actually.
