[QUOTE="recoveringenabler, post: 698871, member: 13542"] I'm sorry you're struggling with this Nomad. It's sad when a friendship falters and possibly ends. I agree with Tanya and mof, your friend may be saving face......in the final analysis, it actually may have nothing at all to do with you, however, you [U]are [/U]impacted. A very good friend of mine went through a tumultuous financial upheaval for a couple of years where she almost lost everything. During that time she became depressed and angry and we had a falling out. We didn't speak for a long time, maybe 2 years. We ran into each other at a social event and she shared that she had been depressed and didn't know it and had acted badly. She was sincere and apologetic. We reconciled and everything worked out. She herself had not recognized how the situation was impacting her and did not acknowledge at the time that she was depressed. She had denied her feelings and was unaware of how it impacted others. I think when people are going through that level of fear and anxiety, it sure can impact their personality in profound ways. Your friend may not be willing to own her feelings or be open to you calling her on her lies, at least right now when it sounds like she's in the thick of it. Pulling back may be your best option for the moment. [/QUOTE]
