Many of you have probably read about this friend and her husband and how they’ve treated me for the past year. Today marks the official end of our friendship (technically three weeks ago, but I just checked my messages lol).
Recap: Out of the blue the wife sends me this emotionally charged video about a child getting assaulted on Instagram (I did not respond to those messages, but she saw that I seen it). I’m seriously upset. Idk how to respond to this. I work with children for a living. Now, that I’m ready to talk about this, I’m going to go into more detail, this video was about a worker in my line of profession abusing a kid. Like what is she try to do? Which is when I realized that it’s emotional manipulation. she is trying to make me doubt myself in my career. She is trying to guilt me to talk to her again. Apparently my absence in their life is abuse to their child. I had to archive our chats and put her and her husband on mute to continue for the sake of my mental health and safety at work.
Feb 2025:Now that everything is okay with work, I have some free time and checked my messages. Guess what? (Dated back in Jan 2025) During my hiatus, they reached out to me on that platform (not any other platforms just this one)lol k. During this hiatus, her husband sends me a message on WhatsApp asking me if I was “still alive?”That is so rude. Anyways, two days passed wife leaves the chat. After three days, the husband leaves. lol
It was like the most theatrical friendship exit ever lol They thought they were really “sticking it to me” when in truth, I did not see it till now. They had to have the last laugh. Until the very end, they still wanted to control the narrative that it was them wanting to end their friendship with me. Whatever, I’ll let them have that.
It breaks me to say this but after this decade long friendship, I’ve seen them for what they really are, and (maybe a little harsh) that the trash finally took itself out!
Right now, after seeing these messages by them, I think I’m at step one of mourning my friendship with them. I talked to my parents about this, and vented about how these two could treat me so badly and try to have the last laugh. I thought we were just going to leave it at that. But them leaving the group chat was petty. My parents said finally realized that how they treated me and the outcome was dirty, but that’s what happens when people can’t use you anymore.
Update: sorry about the grammar. I got the message today so I may sound a little manic in my writing. I’ll proof read it again when I’m in a better place.
Update 2: Both of them are blocked off of everything. I no longer want to see, or know what they’re up to. Nor do I want them to know what I’m up to.
Wow.. the video they sent with the field you are in.....
What the actual f. Putrid. That is twisted on so many levels. Definitely manipulation, definitely meant to make you doubt yourself, question yourself.
When people start infringing on the things that make me money, I get a new level of crazy and protective of myself. If I see they are trying to mess me up at work or make me feel messed up at work, I am QUICK with that block button.
They wanted a free nanny or something and when they didn't get it endlessly, they tried to make you feel fucked up about your job and their own crotch goblins in one swing.
These people aren't just trash. They are vile, putrid, and I would say dangerous. Once you're out of these initial stages of mourning, you'll be able to see just how sick all of this really was. Good for you OP. Stay gone.
