Great story. I liked reading about your experience and I'm glad you have developed so insight and self respect to keep your boundaries clear. I just wrote an article about how to let go of people who no longer align with who we become as we grow, and was looking for other articles on friendship so I found you here. It's really important to remember that by ending toxic relationships we create space for better ones with people who are capable of supporting us and being supported by us. Good for you and thanks!
