At the beginning of May, I wrote this: Rock
It was written for somebody who needed it, who needed me…and I was there for that somebody, I was there all the way, even when that somebody made it almost impossible to be there for them. This particular person was “grateful” or so he said. Only now, when *I* am going through a tough time, he has simply turned his back on me. I was informed via text message earlier, that he was “done”. I have been unfriended on Facebook as well. I am baffled as to how somebody I thought was close, just a few weeks ago, could do this to me. I guess I cannot comprehend any of it. How can you “end things” via texts? How do I not even deserve a face to face meeting, even if it is just to say goodbye?! I have forgiven this person so much, given this person so much over the years…and this is how I am treated. Moments like this are enough to make me lose faith in humanity – this, this, I really didn’t need. Not now. As if I didn’t already have enough battles on all fronts, it turns out I apparently deserve to be stabbed in the back as well.
I have been, was his rock…and yet I have been shunned in my hour of need. There are no words.
That is awful, Nathalie. I’m sorry that he’s abandoned you in your time of need. I hope that this passes quickly for you.

Terribly sorry to hear this. I recently had a similar experience with a “friend”. Hard to say someone is truly a friend when they behave like this, however.

Yes, you are right: *real* friends would never act like this. More to the point, nobody should be treating *anybody* that way. Thank you so much for the kind words and the hugs, they are much appreciated ❤

This is outrageous. How can someone be so cruel?! Whatever.
Try to be a rock now, be a rock for yourself. Don’t let this break you my dear Nat, for you have a tough time ahead and decisions have to be made. Stay strong and don’t lose your focus.
And regarding this awful person: Don’t worry about him, his actions will eventually catch up with him, as they do for everyone. There is no escaping karma.
Here’s a biiiiig virtual hug from me.
All my best to you!
