The best friend before me.
I should have known something was wrong when my pwBPD was in a mental health spiral last year. She told me she reached out to her other best friend, the one before me, telling her that she relapsed and was unravelling.
And the former best friend said 'You need to work through this and reach out when you're better.'
At first I thought she was callous. I didn't realise she knew what was coming and set a boundary.
So i stuck around. I got put on a pedestal as FP for a while because I didn't abandon her
Told daily how caring I am
I wish I could reach out to the other girl to compare notes. I thought she was being a bad friend. I realise now she knew what was coming and tried to protect her peace.
