A good friendship is built around trust. It's what makes friends feel safe sharing their thoughts and feelings. This is most relevant when we're talking about lifelong friendships. Where trust is so built into this type of relationship. The people you've known even before you were fully a person yourself, growing and developing as individuals and as friends. As you grow, this sort of trust can be the force that keeps friendships alive even when life gets busy, and having a person you know you can count on is key when things get tough.
That is why, when this kind of trust is breached, it can feel like a punch to the gut. One minute you're thinking everything's cool, and the next, bam! Like someone pulled the rug out from under you and you're left feeling all sorts of messed up—sad, mad, totally confused.
Well, this is just the tip of the iceberg in this woman's wild story. It's an unusual blitz of betrayal, lies, and deceit involving her boyfriend, best friend, and shockingly—that friend's mom. The whole thing is a total mess, but this woman? Being the absolute beast she is, is not letting it drag her down.
