I finally found self-worth and ditched a friend I’ve known since school. He had done many bad things to me in the past such as robbing my house of my computer (my only possession of any value at the time) when I was in the hospital and many other bad things. We had some fun times when drinking most times but other time he become violent.
After a incident 2 years ago I blocked him on Facebook and blocked his number, didn’t speak to him for 2 years and then I get a email off him saying he hopes I’m doing well and keeping safe in the covid crisis. I email him back and say thank you. We spoke for a few weeks, texting each other.
I kept thinking about all the awful things he’s done to me over the years. I decided to email him and tell him my supported living manager isn’t happy I’m communicating with him and it is causing problems, that I’ve moved forward in my life, cut the drinking down and had no drama since we fell out. I don’t want contact any more. He writes back saving it’s fine but the email got more passive aggressive.
I didn’t hear anything for 3 weeks, yesterday he emailed mea nd said he needed to talk and that he’s been unwell with kidney problem and having tests, He’s unwell. I didn’t email back, I know this is a trick to get me talking to him again. He didn’t mention it when I was talking to him them weeks.
I’m done with him. I invest my time with true friends who treat me well. I value myself as a person.
