Dear Zane, I wrote to you a few months back about my best friend getting pregnant by my ex. I followed everyones advice and I cut them off and let them go. Things have been hard, they have been very vindictive and my best friend has tried to rip my family apart. She has made some horrible accusations and talked about me to everyone that would listen. I will say this, even though they hurt me, I havent said anything bad about them. Im trying to be the better person and walk away with my head held high! Thank you for reaching out to me in such a dark time and thank you so much for giving me sound advice! I suffer from mental illness (panic disorder, anxiety, depression, and anger) and I find myself in dark moments where I want to give up. I deal with embarrassment because of my conditions and I really dont do well meeting new people (maybe that is why I let both of them walk over me for so long, Im too scared to try and meet new people) and I cant stand to get out of my comfort zone. She made some comments that I need to be institutionalized and when that was said I found a really great therapist and this lady has really worked wonders! She has let me know that I shouldnt be embarrassed or ashamed of my medical conditions, a lot of people deal with the same thing daily and that I am not certifiable. She is teaching me to love me, stand up for me, and to use positive cognitive behavioral therapy. In hindsight, if my former friend wouldnt have said such mean things, I probably would have never gotten any help. As of now, I cant see me ever going back to being friends with her and I am ok with that. Once again, thank you so much for caring about everyone and trying to help them! What you do for people, you will have your blessings! Not too many people would care enough to respond but you did and I appreciate it so much! MY RESPONSE: I am so proud of you. Thanks for sending me an update. I have been concerned about you. Life is hard enough without two people we should be able to trust--our man and our best friend--teaming up to do dirt. Yes, her remarks backfired because she was trying to make you feel even worse but it encouraged you to go get some help. I am so glad that your therapist is working through this with you. You will not only survive, you will thrive. Please put both of those idiots out of your life and your head. The world is a big place and neither one of them ever had your best interests in mind.
