"Bye Bye Best Friend"-Update

This blog post represents my opinions, and my opinions alone

To those who took take the time and engagement to read my previous blog post, thank you! A little update (or two, in fact): I decided to respond to my (former) best friend's older sister's text. 

To summarize the text: the sister texted me because my former best friend believed that I had blocked her number, which I hadn't, when she tried to call me in the middle of the night. I had my phone on night mode, which doesn't accept calls. In my answer to the older sister, I explained this. 

Another update: a few minutes ago, I found this article: 6 Warning Signs That Your Friendship Is Abusive (link). 

Every. Single. Sign is true in our friendship. 

I don't know what to think anymore. In my previous post, I logically knew that I have a "friend" who's abusive towards me. However, it makes me sick to read about these signs and feel that they ALL are true in our "friendship". 

Currently, I have a lump in my stomach, I feel cold, and I can't fully grasp the truth of the situation that I am in. 

Ten years of friendship.

And this is the road our friendship has taken.

With time, I will understand, though. I know I deserve better. The present difficulty is to break free and learn to live without her in my life.

That's sad but, what you did is for good... I have this friend, my bestfriend who I really love like a sister. Someday after 2 years of our friendship, she doesn't reply to my messages anymore, of course I was worried. I tried to contact her, but I got no response. (We have this so-called Long Distance Bestfriendship because I live now in a city and she's still in the province) Then one day, she said she doesn't know me through her facebook. I freaked out. I was confused. How come she doesn't know me when it was only me who was there when she needed comfort? I maybe not there physically, but I did my best to comfort her... That's the point when I realized she changed because of her girlfriend, who is also my friend (they're biual). They hid their relationship to me and I got mad. I mean, I'm their friend, I'm not gonna judge them. That "friend" made my bestfriend toxic. She changed a lot. It really broke my heart, because there were people around me wanting to be my friend but I ignored them for I was busy talking to her with my phone. That was the first friendship break-up I'd ever had. She contacted me after 6 months, we fought again. Then she contacted me again after like 3 months? Before my birthday. We're still friends, but it's not like the friendship it used to be. I really miss the old times. OKAY I JUST WANNA SHARE HEHEHE It hurts does'nt it? It's alright~ My new friend is experiencing the same too. She would come to me she would tell the bad things that her "bestfriend" did to her. I told her to end their friendship if she's tired, because her bestfriend is so greedy, manipulative, we're also not in good terms. I can see her glare everytime she sees me with her bestfriend. Hehehe.

Did you tell your best friend's older sister what REALLY happened?
I hope she knows you're innocent.
