My Open Letter to You
I wanted to give you an opportunity for further explanation, but it seems you've sought to end all means of communication and contact with me. Furthermore, you've involved others that had nothing to do with the matter at hand.
Despite all this, I wanted to let you know that I am sorry for how this is affecting you. I am, however, not apologizing for stating what I feel and I shouldn't have to. Being friends the last 8 years, I trust you understand this. It's unfortunate what became of this, though you made it more than it had to be. I'm also sorry you think I'm this toxic person that you rid of like a disease. Your reasons for reaching this conclusion after what we've both been through during our friendship has left me with nothing but questions I have no answers for.
After all that's been said and done, I am truly disappointed to lose you as a friend the way it happened, but as I have said before, it only tells me what I need to know. You deserve to know I can't carry on a friendship where trust has been misled through miscommunication. If I can't even talk to my friend about a serious matter that has been bothering me for over a year without her victimizing herself for it and making it solely about her, there is no point. The way you've been coping with this was worse than I imagined. It's as if I'm your sworn enemy for speaking up finally. That to me is toxic. Friends shouldn't be afraid to speak their minds ever. If this is how things are, let my actions speak for themselves, as actions always speak louder than words.
Take care,
Erynn
