What is your opinion on emotional and psychological or any kind of abuse in friendships? I had a very close friend (or so I thought) who was constantly a manipulative bitch and she's basically the reason I'm as depressed as I am but. (I'm out of that situation now, thank God) but I lost my best friend because he didn't beleive me
Well first of all the person that didn’t believe you was wrong. Any type of relationship can have abuse. Whether that’s a romantic relationship, a sexual relationship, a family relationship, or a friend relationship. Being in an abusive friendship isn’t the first thing someone thinks of when they hear abuse but it for sure can happen.
I don’t see any difference between who the abuser is, a friend or partner or family member. Abuse of all kinds is a serious thing and it’s not something that should be taken lightly.
I’m sorry that you’re in that situation. I can’t say I’ve been in an abusive friendship but I’ve been in an abusive relationship so I know what it feels like and I know that it sucks. But I’m glad you’re out of that situation and I hope that you’re getting help. I wish you all the best! <3
