Urgh so sorry you had to experience this. I had a similar experience in my late 30s when I got divorced from my abusive ex and it ROCKED MY FOUNDATIONS! I had to totally rebuild my life and do it almost alone because the people I thought had my back just …didn’t. It took many years for me to trust friends again, and even now I’m much more trepidatious entering into new friendships than I used to be. Sending you so much love, strength support and unconditional FRIENDSHIP because I know what it means to have that. Xxx

WOW it sounds truly awful, Catherine! I'm so sorry this is happening to you.

Sadly, I can relate (to a certain extent), as last year some of our closest friends treated us despicably. It was so bad that I made a point of removing every last thing they had ever given us from our home because I didn't want any of their negative energy anywhere near us! And then, not long afterwards, another couple of friends who my husband had been going out of his way to help (he gave him a job when he needed it, trained him how to do loads of stuff, gave his brother-in-law a job when HE needed it, bought an expensive painting from them because they needed money, sold them our HOUSE cheaper than we could have done just because we thought it would be nice having them as neighbours!! We introduced them to lots of friends because they didn't seem to have any, etc) turned on us. It was ridiculous! So now we have gits as neighbours...great! At least all our other proper friends have shown their true colours and have been there for us throughout all this!

Why are people so bloody effing idiotic? I just don't get it!!

Big hugs

Suzy xx
