I mentioned moving out to SoCal where a childhood friend recently relocated to as a possible place to move out to after finishing my schooling and she basically said, "Don't move out here, since you're a tobacco smoker and we view tobacco smokers as the equivalent as crackheads." In other words, "Don't bother moving out here, because you're too much of my past and I don't want to be reminded of that"
WTF? Over? After nearly 20 years of friendship, she's going to pull this? When she was suicidal and placed into hospital treatment, I was there for her. Even when she revealed to me the self destruction she did to herself, I was there for her when her wrists were covered in half assed razor cuts I supported her. Even after she married an alcoholic schmuck who abused her and she decided to raise her daughters on her own, I've been there for her and her girls, she suddenly decides I shouldn't be in her life aside from the occasional E-mail?
In one of the few times in my life, I'm at a loss for words in my fury at someone else. I've given away relationships for sticking up for her as the little sister I've never had. I've put guys in hospitals for treating her like crap, while also showing her what a real guy will do for a woman he respects.
But after all this time and the blood, sweat and tears we've done for each other, "Don't come around, I'm making a new life and fuck off."
Seriously, what the shit? I don't want to call her a sociopath, but only sociopaths act like this. Only people who've been treated like shit since they were born decide to treat the people closest to them like this act like this doesn't mean anything.
I don't know what else to say, I'm at a loss for words other than sad, furious, betrayed and confused.
I can't help but mention how sad it is to lose someone you thought you knew, but in the end you never truly knew them...
