This is being shared with my best friend’s permission. The other night she messaged me in a frightened state. I answered her to let her know I see her, she isn’t crazy, and what I would do in that situation. It was very late here and I had an incredibly emotional day. I went to bed after the reply.

When I woke up myself and all my family had been removed and blocked from her social media account. Immediately I thought of a previous time she almost ran from our friendship out of triggers and fear. I reached out via email and told her if she didn’t reply I would leave her alone and respect her boundaries.

She replied, but before she did I began writing this. After we talked and worked everything out I read her what I had written below. She declared I should share it with you, so you can maybe learn something from it.

She was in a triggered state and I did not give her the reassurance her inner child was desperate for. I was matter of fact. The compassion I felt was not conveyed because I was not in my best state of mind. We were able to dissect what happened. I never took it personal. I was hurt but understood she did what she did out of this desire to protect herself.

I had a great meeting with a reader today and if you’re reading this thank you. I enjoyed the session and was so glad it provided such confirmation for you. To the rest…
