They are SO out of my Fave 5


So your good friend Nadja here has been betrayed. Betrayed by a long-time friend in such an unbelievable way.

As you've probably gathered from some postings, my history has been a bit dodgy at best. Some pretty heavy stuff has happened and I've divulged the darkest of it to very few. One of those few I had affixed the label of "best" friend. We were inseparable for years. People gave us a nickname a la "bennifer". People envied our relationship. She was there for ALL of the major events. We joked about how our friendship would be when we were elderly.

Today I learned that when the worst of the worst happened to me, and she was one of 3 people I told, she blabbed it. Blabbed it to a person that hated me. Blabbed it to a person that threw it in my face.

I am sitting here festering. Ready to unleash like Vesuvius on Pompeii.

The only thing that has stopped me is the question of time. Do I deal with this like it happened yesterday (because it feels that fresh) or is there a statute of limitations?

I think that anytime you yell at someone...although it feels good at the moment, you lose. No one takes a yeller seriously... Just walk u p to her, punch her in the gut and say "don't pretend you don't know what that was for." Then, I don't see any reason why you can't be friends again.

Does Ms. McTraitor read your blog? If not, the link should be sent to her AFTER you receive a few comments as to what a sellout she was and how she's not worthy of the title "friend". That was a monumental act of betrayal, and for the hurt to feel fresh and new to you is perfectly normal. I go with one of Hurley's ideas, but kick her in the box instead.

Lol. Your Mom's comment is awesome. And I enjoyed reading it. I can see your similarities just in that comment.

Preach on, Mom.

I always say there is no better advice to take then your mothers. So.....I think you know what needs to be done.

You don't have time for this crap. Anyone who shares your time and affections with your husband and your child needs to be worthy. Any relationship you have that is not enriching is just not worth your time.

Whether you tell off this person or simply let it go, you are better for being done with this. The friendship served its purpose at one time or another, but now its time is over.

What I'm really trying to say here is, kick her in the box.
