I'm pleased for you SummerStorm. It must be a big relief to know you can at least share well wishes without being ignored or receiving any backlash.

Yes, it is. Also, I had written her a letter and planned on sending it to her in a Thanksgiving card, but I ultimately ended up deciding not to, and I do think I made the right choice. I don't think it would have been received well, despite the positive tone of it. The email I sent instead was short and to the point. For too long, I've been letting my ex-friend's mother's perceptions and beliefs (she thinks that my ex-friend magically recovered from BPD just because she acted 'mature' the last time she saw her, two months ago) shape my own beliefs, and I can't do that anymore. Her mother thought I should send a letter and thought that my ex-friend would suddenly see the truth and emotion in my words and decide to be friends with me again, but I think it would have had the opposite effect.
