Walking away from a long term friendship

Have you ever heard of the saying “losing a friend is harder than a heart break”?

Let me acknowledge first, I 110% know walking away was absolutely best for my family and I. With that being said, it was also one of the hardest things I’ve ever done 😪

Coming to the realization a very close long time friend and I aren’t on the same page has taken a toll on my mental health. I bend over backwards for those I love. I realized with this person that I dont get the same in return. Was there ever a point where I did? I like to believe so, but I’m not really sure anymore. I told her EVERYTHING. Come to find out, I knew nothing about her. Then I got to thinking, wow there’s so much more I was blind to. I’m not sure how I didn’t see it sooner.

Right now I’ve just silently removed myself, I feel that’s just easier. But man has it been hard not to reach out, but even harder to finish removing myself. I tried to just silently take a backseat but that just hurts more when things come up on like social media.

What does one do? I know it’s best to keep the distance. But how is one supposed to just move on losing someone you once considered a sister? 😪
