Falling out with a best friend of over 20 years. She was like a sister to me. Her children were like my family. I found myself bending over backwards to stay in their orbit and do things for them, until my dad passed and I had to care for myself. My friend didn’t really make time for me the way she should’ve and I realized that the friendship was one-sided. Tried to talk it out and no accountability on her side, just flipped the script to make me into the bad guy, the one who distanced and didn’t continue “performing “ for them… That rift has been difficult, mainly because of the children. Since I became sober, more feelings have come to the surface with that, but I think it’s good because I’m facing them and maybe can eventually let this go. Anyone have a similar situation and resolution?
