I appreciate your compassion, that is good enough for me. Thank you. I think everything we go through is a lesson, and I'm going to be working on myself, so that I can learn how to make healthier choices with friends and avoid narcissistic, manipulative, controlling people...or people who take advantage of you. I found some of my friendships were more transaction based. And while my feelings of anger and betrayal with all of them are valid, I feel some accountability for choosing them. I really want to learn how to attract and choose healthy, non-toxic people.
