DSHANKS,
Little by little I gave up one friend after another. My case seemed to be that I felt taken advantage of all the time because of my good nature. They were bringing me down so much I would cry myself to sleep at night and yet they carried on their lives as nothing was wrong. I miss having a large group of friends however, I don't miss the drama. I have very few friends now and it gets lonely when days go by without a phone call or knock on the door. I know I am better off without them and the heavy crutches I got involved with as far as drinking and drugs. I have been clean for 7 years. However, if this person is a true friend try writing a letter to them. Less arguments that way. If the friend has more good than not hold on to it because now adays it is so hard to develop new relationships. Everyone is on guard. It's not like the good old days when people accepted us for being us with our flawed character dealing with P.T.S.D. and other problems. People look down on you today when a flaw happens to be noticed. Think this one out careful. It does get awful lonely on the other side of no friends.
