Lost friendship

Years ago I blocked a friend on WhatsApp and Facebook as they said something in person which was very hurtful in person and a patronising tone. It affected my mental health. I unblocked them a while back and I am not blocked on WhatsApp but blocked on Facebook. I wish I had told her at the time how hurtful she was as she probably didn’t realise what she had done and it ate away at me. Is it worth trying to contact her or move ok?

The thing she said to me was awful. She didn’t think about my mental health and ill health at the time while saying what she said.

I don’t want to have it out with her. I would just explain what happened. I don’t even expect her to respond but at least she would know why as she probably can’t understand what happened.

The time to do that was then, though. If you want to apologise, sure, go ahead, but if what you want to do is rub her nose in a remark she made 6 years ago which you didn’t rebuke at the time but claim negatively affected your MH to the point where you dropped her permanently without a word, I don’t see the point for either of you, apart from a desire to wound on your part.
