A few Christmases ago my old best friend from school totally dropped me.
In fact it was Christmas Eve when she sent me some very hurtful texts. I was rushing around in the supermarket buying last minute bits and almost broke down in tears there and then. She was upset with me because I hasn't replied to her text that she'd sent a couple of hours ago about her breaking up with her boyfriend. To give you a bit of background she was very on/off with the boyfriend - they were together for around two years and in that time has broken up at least a dozen times. I have to admit I read the text whilst out and thought I'd call her when I got home. But she followed up to her original message saying how dreadful I was, and also saying she didn't want to be my maid of honour for my wedding.
Needless to say I was very hurt- I tried calling her- she wouldn't answer my calls. She blocked me on Facebook too. I emailed her to apologise for not getting in touch with her sooner and she sent me awful emails back.
I gave her some time and tried to reach her again after Christmas as I was starting to organise my hen do. Heard nothing. I was worried about her as I knew she was on antidepressants so contacted a mutual friend on Facebook who said our friend was fine etc.
My best friend then again sent me vile messages on Facebook. I was so shocked as before these incidents we had never had a bad word.
Im torn in my emotions as I feel angry and upset at her but equally I miss her. I'm sad she missed out on our wedding, my pregnancy, and won't know my DD. It all just feels surreal.
I've noticed on fb she didn't attend our mutual friends wedding so wondered if they've become estranged...not sure if I should contact mutual friend...
AIBU to feel emotionally torn? Should I just move on? I have lots of other good mates but I've known her since I was eleven
