Well, to try and cut a long story short. My friend of about 7 years decided at Christmas she would launch a scathing attack on me, via fb pm. Basically the nessage was about how I'm a sh*tty friend as I don't make enough effort with her, text her enough or take time out for her. Baring in mind christmas day and boxing day she wanted to get together, I didn't as i was 7 months pregnant and find the holidays quite a tough time. Anyway over the same period my "friend" had started a mental health blog which i didnt comment about to her how i felt about it etc and kept my opinions regarding it to myself. After the hurtful and abusive messages she sent me, she said "also thanks for the support on the blog" at this point I couldn't hold my breath any longer and told her I didn't like her self-indulgent blog as it seemed very hypocritical and categorised everybody with mental health issues under the same bracket. Anyway, i did find the blog particularly offensive towards myself, as i have struggled with mental health for a long time stemming from being abused for 8 years of my life, hence why christmas and the focus on family time is difficult. From this reply, which i do believe was daft of me and i stooped to her level I received a backlash from her saying i always use my problems as an excuse for being a selfish person. Well, i blocked her after this and basically cut off al contact via any form as I'm due to give birth and really don't need the stress. She has done the opposite and used her "blog" as a platform to slag me off and talk about my issues and most of her "followers" have had an input on how she doesn't need negativity like me in her life. I have tried to not let that get to me and kept ignoring is, but now i have other mothers at the school both our children attend coming up to me saying the ex-friend has warned them away from me as i'am poison and i have nobody and nothing nice to say about anyone. I'm also a user and she thinks i should move away for a fresh start as I'm 30 with my 3rd child on he way and alone. Now i'am at the point where iam reeling inside and would love to approach said person and put her straight about the lies she is spreading. She's completely trying to drag my name through the dirt but all one sided. Do i keep on ignoring the childish yet infuriating behaviour or do i act on it? I'd like to say it doesn't bother me but the more i hear she has said the more i want to react. Please just give me advice, your opinion, or anything!! Thankyou
