A few months ago I cut a close friend out of my life because she has been really horrible about other people as well as betraying my trust a few years ago. I had just has enough of her attitude and the way she never had anything nice to say about anyone (think stuff along the lines of saying that a friend has had too many kids and can't cope etc, or that another friend doesnt deserve their PHD due to financial help from parents.) I called her out and told her that I dont feel the same about our relationship anymore. She hasn't taken it well and has even refused to let her kids go to the same birthday party as my DH and DS were going to. He husband was horrible to me telling me to never contact them ever again when I offered to give their housekey back.
The problem is that she lives 3 doors down from me and her son will be in my child's year at school (starting Sep '26.) She has a close friend whose son will also be in my DS's year who has blocked me on social media etc since I cut her out (ironically this friend is one of the people ex friend has said the worst stuff about however isn't aware.)
My DS will be an only child and I feel very sad about the fact that school pickups, summer fairs and nativity plays etc will be marred by the presence of ex friend. I just feel that it'll be very uncomfortable. Ex friend already has a child at the school and I wouldn't put it past her to try to turn others against me.
AIBU to want to get away from her and the area, and not have to see her anymore? There are other good schools in our city.
