Boundaries and friends
Trigger warning: mention of drugs and addiction.
So Ive posted here many times but for this post I wanna add for context that I’m turning 18 in December and im 19 weeks along today.
I’ve had to cut contact with my bestfriend (17) because she relapsed once again, she’s been clean from all kinds of drugs for about 5 months or so till yesterday where she smoked weed.
Which is totally fine for me and out of my control, usually I would keep in contact with her and try to guide her out of it and try to keep her away from other kinds of drugs but now that I’m pregnant I want my baby to have the best people around and no drugs whatsoever in its life.
She’s used all kinds of drugs as she fell into addiction at only 15 and was on the run multiple times last year and the year before doing whatever one does then, I had to cut contact with her once or twice then too and we didn’t become friends again until almost a year later both times where she was clean again due to how she changed as a person and she put my sister(16) in danger and tried to make her relapse too.
I don’t know if this was harsh and just straight out mean of me to do, I didn’t want to but now that I’m having a baby I want only the best people and environment for my child and us.
I feel so sad and like I’m the most horrible friend ever because what friend does that?! And especially since I always try to help her and keep her clean, she’s been and is so excited to be an auntie and I just feel so horrible and like I ruined that for her now.
Can someone please tell me if it was the right choice or not because I’m spiraling and my heart feels broken for our friendship once again and for her & her wellbeing because I want her to be clean and healthy & happy.
