Shocking, but true. Hand me a box of tissues. I’m having one of those days.
A dear friend has turned out, well, not to be. It is causing me to doubt the strength of all my relationships. Reality is mostly perception. When perceptions meet disillusionment, the lesson learned is painful and lonely.
Tomorrow I’ll start over but today I think I’m going to skip the tissues and have a good cry in my beer.

I’m sorry to hear that. I know how hard it can be to have to re-order one’s perceptions. It’s a growth opportunity, but it still hurts like heck.
A good cry will help you grieve it and honour your original perceptions. After all, your perceptions say more about you than they do about the other person.

Well, whoever the fake friend was pooh on them! I mean that in the worst possible way, too!
I hope you feel better soon.

Oh, sorry to hear about your boogelly friend. I think a crying jag is perfectly acceptable. Sometimes there’s more feeling on one side than the other: Fair weather friends….

I’m sorry to hear about your troubles with your friend. Crying jags always mess up my sinuses, so I try to avoid them. Handling all my pretty colored yarn or shiny, sparkly beads always helps me. Although, if I could have a cat, I think petting it would be the best cure.
Good cheer to you!

Sorry about the friend, would a cyber hug help a tiny bit. There things will get better, sometimes who we think we can rely on for anything, well it just hits you smack in the face, it may feel like “WTF”, but it will get better, in time, sometimes a long time, but try to move on and be happy.

That sucks so bad…breakups with a friend hurt so bad, especially when you were under the impression everything was ok. A big virtual hug to you until all the ‘bou girls can give you a collective one on Wednesday!

So sorry Chick. Been there, done that. Looking back I can say that at least I’m happy I know the true meaning of friendship - unlike her. And you know what….. you deserve better! Hugs your way.

I’d happily be your friend. Sorry about the sucky one!
