I just...
e-mailed my former "best friend" that kicked me out of her wedding (I was MOH) and that I haven't talked to in over a year.
She's a Vet Tech and my horse has been diagnosed with severe arthritis and isn't doing well. I've had this horse since we were in high school and I know she loves him almost as much as I do. I'm hoping she can set aside our differences to help him out, if nothing else.
But it sucks to put myself in that vulnerable position again... She's known for not caring about anyone's feelings and doing things just to hurt people. But hopefully that caring side that I know she once had comes out.
Anybody ever been in a vulnerable situation like this? How'd it work out?
Re: I just...
While I have never been in a situation like that before, I am sorry to hear about your horse. I hope things work out for you and she can be of help. However, I believe that when people change, there is often nothing you can do to repair relationships to what they used to be. I know it is sad, but usually it is best to just let them go.
Oh I know our friendship is beyond repair... It has been since the day she e-mailed me and told me I was no longer in her wedding with no explanation as to why. I just don't really have any other friends that have her expertise and I'm hoping she'll look beyond us and think about the horse.

Thanks. It's no fun watching him get old... Apparently he hasn't realized he's supposed to live forever.

I have never been in a situation like that either unfortunately. But hopefully your ex-friend will put everything aside if she loves this horse as much as you thought she did.
But be prepared for her not to answer, because it seems like there is a chance she won't. And if that is the case hopefully you can find someone who knows as much about this as she did.
Vibes!

Yup apparently she's decided not to answer. *shrug* Oh well. Life will go on. I thought I'd try.

Sorry ahead of time for the long response
Kind of random and similar but my MOH who was a total pain about everything when it came to her responsibilities for the wedding (i.e. get a dress and shoes) and then got pissed about something my DH said on FB and then she decided to personally say something about him when he has never done anything to her...I was upset she attacked him like that and he was pretty pissed about it and confronted her...well she got mad, called me and quit the wedding...things went from bad to worse and we aren't friends anymore. Well a couple weeks or so after the wedding she sent me an email on FB saying that she hoped the wedding was good or something to that effect. I never replied because I was still very hurt by everything. Then yesterday out of nowhere she sent me another email on FB that she had to put one of her dogs down. I feel bad because I know that sucks and how hard and painful that is. I didn't email her after she had her baby, and after all of the on and off bs she has caused throughout the years she is not worth having as a person in my life right now. I have too many other great things going on for me right now that I don't need her drama and bs. I almost feel bad for her because her and her husband are basically isolated from their families because she has burned the bridges with both sets of their families and they want nothing to do with her...but that's just what she does. I thought about responding...just can't go through that again though.
Ya I can understand that. But the thing is I didn't "burn" her. I called her one day to ask how much I owed her for my dress and the next day I got an e-mail from her saying that I was out due to "budget restrictions." No one knows to this day what happened but apparently it's something that has really bothered her.
But in all honesty I haven't lost any sleep over it and will continue not to. I'm not in middle school. I don't need the drama... I have a good group of friends and a husband and family that support me. That's all I need.
