MODERATORS
Hopefully you and the friend will get better.
As hard as it is in a situation like this, it is really important to understand own boundaries and if this was too much for you, respect your boundaries — in the beginning you might feel really torn, like you are betraying a friendship or leaving someone in need alone.
Additionally, your reaction might send a signal for them to seek help, it doesn’t have to but it just might be enough of a nudge in situation like this.
Bottom line is, if this decision was made from the position of respecting your current boundaries then whatever comes next is the best possible scenario in the long run.
Stay safe.
Thank you, I really appreciate that thoughtful reply.
This is the tricky part — if you are navigating through situations like this, while respecting your own boundaries.. You are the only person that fully deserves that “thank you” from yourself.
