Itza, I'm trying to understand why your supposed friends would turn their backs on you during such a sad time in your life. That's horrible. I'm so sorry this happened to you.

As for my supposed friend, she wasn't going through a rough time, she was just being her usual rude self, which after a long time, finally got to me. She would call me a dumb sh** and horrible names like that. The rude and insulting email was the final straw for me. She's old enough to know better.

Personally, I've never backed away from heavy problems since I work with battered women. But, I don't think your question was directed toward me so I'll back away.
