What to do w friend

[Dawns trip]

I have a history of sexual assault yrs ago and was recently stalked by a person I knew professionally in the long past (he didn’t stalk me until yrs after we had professional contact). So I have been edgy and stuff from before has surfaced.

I went to visit a friend who lives in another state. While there, she left and went out w friends. It left me feeling very sad and angry. When I tried to talk to her about it, she said her “other friends” would have been happy for her.

I thought of her as a best friend. We had traveled together and I had supported her during an illness and divorce. I blew up at her which was wrong. I miss her as a friend but I do t know if I should try and repair this. Sorry for long post

I thought of her as a best friend... I miss her as a friend

These sound like good reasons to try and work it out. Sounds like this friendship is bigger than a bad day, and worth the effort.

Also, if you can help her understand what was going on for you, she may become a good support.
