Hey Marie,
Thank you for taking the time to share your story with us.
And, we will pray for you to be very wise as you move forward. Friendships can be very discouraging and challenging at times.
One of the best things you can do is to ask God to send you some positive, encouraging, and healthy friends. Not everyone is supposed to be a close friend. And, not everyone is supposed to be a close friend for life. You may have to let this friend go.
I’m going to link to some other articles that might help and encourage you.
Praying for you to be encouraged!
Blessings,
Melanie

Me and my friend drifted apart some ten years ago when she got a boyfriend. The she was expelled from school our senior year. It hurt me deeply what she did and she never called or texted me about what had happened. I had to hear rumors of what happened. My classmates tried to accept me into their group but I still felt like an outsiders. I had two teachers who really were there for me. As the years went by I had trouble connecting to people and trusting them. They always seemed to do something to hurt me. A couple of months ago this girl started coming to my church and I felt like I should reach out to her. I did and we have been trying to mend fences but whenever we are in the same room together it feels awkward and distant. She pointed it out to me and I told her we are different people now we need to get to know the new us. I told her somethings about me that she would not have known. Now she seems more distant. I don’t want to be a bother to her because I know she is busy with her family and all but I enjoyed talking with her everyday. I just don’t know what to do anymore.

A friendship that fades away because of conflict that can’t be resolved is akin to a divorce. The pain and the rending is truly life altering.

Been there. Had it done to me …

Any beginning is better than nothing! A text, a call, a Thinking of you card, any movement is still movement. When I don’t know how to start, I start praying and the Lord always prompts the next step!! ❤️
