I was trying to comment on your lastest blog post titled friendship but of course my computer is being goofy.

I just wanted to tell you thank you for posting that. I have been dealing with a similar situation and your words were and are very helpful. It's also nice to know that others are in the same place.

You have a talent and a way with words that makes sense and I just wanted to tell you that I think you are wonderful and it takes a really big person to make a decision like that, because it's not an easy one. You are a great person and that post really helped me in making a decision that I had been teetering on for awhile now. Thanks again dear!

Re: :: Mandee::

  • awww, Charity! thank you so much! it really means a lot to me that I could help someone else out. honestly, I started that blog post back in July and didn't really have the courage to finish it up until recently.

    it was a really tough situation, but I feel SO much better after getting all that out. there was much more I wanted to write, but I didn't feel right getting into detail about it on my blog, ya know? basically, my MOH has fallen into a sort of rut... we (me and common friends) have tried to help her out and be there for her, but it's like the saying goes... you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped.

    so needless to say, I've washed my hands of the entire situation. I think it's important to think of what YOU need out of a friendship and not just what the other person needs... otherwise, you'll never be happy. I hope you make the right decision for YOU in your situation! :)

  • I just ran over and read that post. I have just gone through a break up with a friend myself. I realized it was so unhealthy and just making me miserable. So a few weeks ago after an event transpired I decided that was it. I was done. I have never felt so relieved. I also feel that the drama that surrounds my former friend will always be and I just can't deal with so much MUD.
  • I LOVED this post!  I also just went through something like this a few months ago, and I have found myself in a better, more positive, and less stressful mood. Thanks Mandee.

  • Ditto what everyone else said. Good for you for knowing that you deserve more, and for knowing when to move on. It's a hard decision to make, I know, but it always pays off.

  • I just ran over and read it too. That was an awesome post Mandee. Seriously. Big kudos to you for not letting her bring you down. 

    Coincidently, I was actually considering posting today to ask for advice on some friend issues.

  • I finally had time today to sit down and read your post. Good for you knowing when to let go, the though and words made it very clear that it wasn't something you took lightly and it really resonated with me.

    I was dealing with something similar a few months back. Moving away made it easier to move on in the sense of letting go of a toxic friendship, the people I really care about are the ones that I am staying in touch with.
