Looking for friend advice here of ppl who have been in a similar situation.
have known a friend of mine since we were 10, grew up together but over last 6/7 years I've noticed so many things about her that make me dislike her. And it isn't just me - she is generally quite rude, makes everything about her and expects a lot but doesn't give much back.
she recently had a baby (there are 4 of us girls from childhood that have become a little group) once she gave birth she only told 1 girl and left me and the other one to find out much later. We did the 'congrats' etc, a part of me was hurt that we weren't told but another part of me just wants this to be over. We have nothing in common but I find myself thinking about this situation- how close we used to be for our whole lives and then how she's changed.
why can't I let this go? she has always had a very brash, bossy side and I think a part of me is scared of her in a way. if I ever bump into her I know she will be p*ssed off that I didn't make a big deal about her latest child - there's a lot more back story but I feel the friendship has run its course but I don't know how to close the door. do I need to close the door, or should I keep things cordial? keeping it cordial will mine that she will always be in my life one way or another. and tbh I'm not sure that I want to deal with her attitude and toxicity anymore.
