They’ve been friends for 30 years. Is one jealous outburst over their daughters a good enough reason to end the relationship?
Your friend apologized. She admitted fault. She told you an incredibly hard truth about why she lost her cool. Not only that, but the truth also wasn’t anything you had done wrong or anything she didn’t like about you. It was a truth about her own struggle with her own personal demon.
Where’s your worry for her daughter, who is apparently doing great, too, but who lives with a mother so stuck on one vision of a successful life that she can’t even recognize, much less celebrate, her daughter’s well-being?do next all start with trading your defensiveness for compassion. You’re feeling good about your life. Your friend isn’t. So be exactly the friend you hope she would be for you if you were the one in the dark.
Then, maybe, I hope: “I may not forgive you, though, if you keep thinking you have to struggle alone.”More from Carolyn Hax
