Toxic friend messaged me for the first time in 2 years
I ended this friendship two years ago. They weren’t good for my mental health and wanted more of my time and energy than I had available. I went grey rock and then eventually stopped replying to their messages completely. I haven’t heard from them in two years.
Today they messaged me out of the blue. I know I should have blocked them two years ago, but I didn’t. Their message was exactly how they used to be, a ‘hope you’re keeping well’ and then a huge wall of text about how awful their life has been / is.
My husband said I should ignore them. My Mum said I should reply with a 🙏 and then block them. They have really bad mental health problems and I don’t want to do something that will upset them, but I also can’t deal with their problems at all.
What would you do?!
