its crazy the extent i put up with a toxic ass bestfriend only to find out years later (after i cut her out of my life) when i was working for a university office and making a poster & pamphlet abt domestic abuse, that i was in an emotionally abusive friendship for years. I always heard about different forms of abuse in relationships, but never realized they could apply to friendships too. That shit hit me so hard. And it really puts into perspective why nobody else really understood how i could cut her out like that, after being “best friends” for close to ten years
