A letter to a former friend
A few months ago there was a disagreement between a friend of mine and myself. It got to the point where this "friend" of mine stood up grabbed the back of a chair and whipped it back aiming for me. That right there was a deal breaker for me. The event that night had been building for a while I was supposed to move in with her and I was not able to do so. I tried I really did but decided it was not a good idea. That was the pivital moment when this friend started showing her true colors. Things between us were never the same again. In retrospect seeing the behavor since the incident it was the best decision to make. If I had moved in there when we did have a fight I more than likely would have come home to find my stuff being tossed out of the house.
First and foremost I want you to know that you brought this on yourself...I am not to blame no matter how much you try to convince others and more importantly how much you try to convince yourself. You choose to over react....you choose to make people take sides...you choose to make it difficult. I also want you to know that comments like "I don't want Susy sitting at MY table" do nothing to me cause your opinion of me means less than a stranger walking down the street. They do however make our mutual friends uncomfortable. The fact that our friends are uncomfortable upsets me. My life has not changed since you have not been a part of it. I carry on in fact I find myself happier, less judgemental and more myself. I am not being petty nor am I seeking revenge even though I have had the opportunity. Again because I am more myself....if I was still listening to you I would have. I also find it really funny that you are soooo upset with me yet still wear the watch I bought you as a present and that you don't want me at your table but as soon as I get up from where I am sitting you run over to that table. I have no desire to ever be friends again I want to make that crystal clear. I only wish you would be civil and act like an adult rather than a spoiled child who didn't get her way for the sake of OUR friends. Try growing up instead of just old and bitter. I have no regrets in the way I have handled things. I have no regrets for anything that I have said. I only regret that our friends are being made to feel uncomfortable because of you
