I remember when my friend called me erev yom kippur to ask for forgiveness. I hadn’t heard from her in months. She just upped and left without telling me why. We spoke then, and she seemed ok, telling me she hadn’t meant to hurt me, and did I forgive her. Then she never spoke to me again. I felt that she had called just to alleviate her own feelings of guilt. It’s been 4 years since then. Anytime I hear her name, it’s like an arrow to my heart. Understand, she had been my best friend. I have since learned she has Borderline Personality Disorder. It took me so long to let the anger go, but I’m glad I did. Having said all that, I hope you too can find the peace of mind to let her go.
