Friend E called today and said, “We really missed you yesterday. I wish you’d change your mind and get together.” I said, “I am not just going to get together with her and act like nothing happened. I don’t want to have anything to do with her ever again. I think she’s a narcissist and using you as her flying monkey.” The good news is friend E made plans to see me and another nice friend of ours this week without toxic friend C.

I have had to battle for respect from certain people who refuse to give it. Ultimately, I had to end all contact with those people...husband included. The nerve of them to think they can get away with it is truly unbelievable.
