One of my best friends for a decade actually went and hit on my teenage daughter – like, very graphically. Yikes. Let's just say, I didn't hold back when shutting that friendship down.

    After I told a 16-year-old about a miscarriage, she asked for my address. Thought she was sending a card, but nope - she used it for sketchy paperwork mail scams. My husband had to step in before things got worse. Trust? Gone.

    Imagine being friends for nearly 40 years, then politics turns your bestie into someone you barely recognize. After a ‘joke’ about a tragedy, I snapped and said, ‘That’s it.’ Sometimes friends just aren’t meant to be.

    This friend took me to their church and the whole sermon was about how I’m doomed because I’m not straight. I wasn’t out yet. Spoiler alert - I moved away fast.

    She treated me like her personal shoulder and disappeared whenever a boyfriend came along. Then she'd drag me back just to stir up jealousy. It took me a while to notice the pattern, but once I did, I was out.

    She kept sharing what others said about me, but never stood up when it mattered. When I stopped being friends, people told me she’d even gossip with them! Lesson learned: pick your crew carefully.

    They basically wanted me to be their personal hype squad but didn’t give a hoot about my life. Once I noticed, friendship didn’t last.

    I was always driving over to help her out and support her mental health. But when I hit a rough patch, she acted like I was demanding too much. I finally saw our friendship was one-sided and called it quits.

    Every fun night out turned into him screaming at his girlfriend, insulting her, breaking up, and then making her cry. I just couldn’t stand watching it anymore. Cut him loose, and he’s still whining about it.

    My friend got super into business and hanging with his banker friend. Suddenly, everything was about saving money - even at others’ expense. Like, ‘Why should my taxes help someone who can’t save?’ No thanks, friendship ended.

    My son’s godfather and longtime friend went all racist and sexist on us when 2016 hit. He even sabotaged our fantasy football league just to insult us. I miss the old him, but that new guy? Nope.

    Friendship should be two-way, but I was just the trash bin for trauma and never got anything back. Once I saw that, I bailed.

    Over the years, I supported her through bipolar ups and downs. But when it became dangerous and she blamed me for her lows - yeah, I had to hit pause on that friendship for my own sanity.

    She ghosted me for months, came back saying she had an identity crisis, then ghosted again. Third time's not a charm - I told her never to contact me again.

    We were roommates and I helped raise his son. Then he got engaged, planned an entire wedding without telling me, and didn’t make me best man. That was it - I ended the friendship but still miss the kid.

    She got pregnant at 19 and was miserable and demanding the whole time. I cared for her baby but got shot down when offering advice. When I couldn’t get enough formula for the baby, she wasn’t helpful. That was the end for me.
