My friend is targeting me with anger. In what I imagine as her confusion, she is angry and full of blame. I have asked her to text me in advance of visits, which she does not do. I have asked her to keep in mind that there is more to consider than her own objectives and convenience, to no avail.
I cannot imagine a sadder end to a friendship. Her attempts to continue our old ways only exacerbate my suffering.
My situation is one of activated PTS from childhood trauma. I cannot sleep, develop nausea and vomiting after her intrusions. I have tried simple explanations of my needs, to no avail.
She doesn’t remember- or denies- her attacks on me, persists in proclaiming her love for me and her concern over how our relationship is changing. Comes over when it suits her, despite anything I say. She has become irrational aggressive, passive aggressive and mean.
I grieve our relationship but I don’t have what she wants from me!
Any help? Insights? Empathy?
Many thanks
