Had to say goodbye to a friend of 10yrs

Tweet

I had to do the most hardest thing today. And that was to say goodbye to a friend that I have known for 10rs. And the reason I had to is because she keeps going back to her boyfriend that abuses her to the point where she attempted suicide last weekend, over him which is sad to do. I am glad that she lived, but over a guy is what hurts the most. I helped her for a week, and she was stating that she is leaving him and so forth, and today I found out that she stayed with him, and when I talked her, and told her that I can't help you anymore until you help yourself. And the response that she used that he isn't my ex and he is willing to change. Once an abuser is always one, and she knows this as she seen me go through this. Her family, and friends don't support this relationship as it is so toxic, but he seems to find a way to weasel his way back in there. Her mom called me and we talked about her as she seemed really concerened for her hugely as we both know she isn't mentally well. And she was crying and it was hard enough to hear on the other end of the phone. This hurts alot as I didn't want to do this anymore, and her bf is so harsh to her and she is so blind sided by love that she doesn't see it. And I understand that, but when people start noticing it and then she is told she doesn't bat an eye at all. I know that I can't have it and I have enough my stuff to go through. I just know I was there to help her when she needed it most. And hope that she doesn't forget that. I wish her well, but it is hard to say goodbye to her at the same time.
