I am not friends with my best friend anymore. I should feel lousy, and I do.
But another part of me feels so good and so free.
confession n. A written or oral statement acknowledging guilt, made by one who has been accused or charged with an offense.
It is the confession, not the priest, that gives us absolution.

It's kind of like being in someone's head while they're praying or thinking about things they'd never say outloud.

I think that’s totally normal. I think that happens in any relationship that has gone off. You get a mixture of loss and relief.

Agreed. My oldest friend no longer interests me. We are each interested in different things and have different values. I don’t want to see her or even come up with excuses. Sometimes I miss the friendship we once had, but I don’t miss her.

agree with #2. I ended a friendship a while back. I miss having such a close friend like her, but I don’t miss the way she treated me and used me as a ‘back-up’ when no one else would hang out with her.
Good riddance.

That happened to me, too. I had a “friend” who called when, as she put it, “had some time to kill.” Gee thanks…I just don’t need that person in my life. I know its nice having an old friend, but its better having a good one.
