That, in a nutshell was what was going on with my former friend/co-worker. She seemed to think that I would always be there, always forgive & be the one to cater to whatever her mood was on any given night. She’s too moody & too angry for me to try to remain friends with. If there were to be any repair, the manipulative man would have to be out of her life & I don’t see her growing a spine or a brain when it comes to him. I was nothing but a very supportive friend to her for many years and while I admit that I did more of the work in the friendship, it still worked for a very long time. We did do things socially & she did call me until she became so angry & bitter about her relationship that she chose to take it out on me (& on others). When I saw her taking out her venom on other co-workers (some of whom she also considered friends), I decided she was really messed up. She is far more messed up than I ever realized. It just manifested itself big time last summer & has not gotten better for any length of time since then. I don’t dread work when I know she won’t be there. Sad because we used to always like working together. Even now, I will help her & she will help me in our respective departments but things will never be the same. Sometimes, there is no going back.
