so i've had this girl i've called my "best friend" since i was 5 (im 15 now, she's 20) we've always been really close but a few years ago she was dating my brother (she's always been in love with him, still is even though she has a live-in boyfriend) and i decided i didnt want to be her friend anymore (that resulted in her cutting herself really deep and she still has a huge scar). we weren't friends for months but then i got lonely and a mutual friend decided to have us start talking to each other again. we haven't been as close as before since then. she always has little messed up things to say to me now. ever since my family started making more money she has this bitchy attitude. she's always sad about something. its pointless to take her anyway. she's trying to sabotage my relationship with my boyfriend who i've been with for over a year now. im starting to cut her off slowly but im just wondering how i can stop being her friend without hurting her too much? i'm her only friend, seriously, and she has a lot of problems with her boyfriend/life in general. i know why she is the way she is but how do i cut it off with her without her killing herself? (because she would)

You were wrong in the first place to stop being your friend just because she was dating your brother. YOu and her was friends before your brother and her started dating.
You need to sit her down and talk to her. You need to tell her how you fill about everything that she says to you. If you and her has been friends so long you need to give it another chance. You are the reason that yall arent as close anyways. [ khadiya's advice column | Ask khadiya A Question ]
