I lost it....
I had this friend. She was my absolute best friend...we were literally like sisters..and we were friends for almost 8 years. We would do everything together, we shared life, laughs, and secrets. We even got matching tattoos.....I trusted her with everything I had, which is not an easy thing for anyone, especially me, to do.

About 6 months ago, she started dating my oldest brother. It made me extremely uncomfortable, and I expressed that to her from the very beginning. They were together less than a month and they moved in together. You can imagine how wierd that was for me.

I pulled back from our friendship. I felt betrayed...she was spending all her time with him, and all I heard about was how wonderful he was. It was like that feeling you get when your friend ditches you for her boyfriend, only double, because she's ditching you for your family.....

I couldn't really trust her as much...yet I still wanted to make an effort. We had shared so much...it seemed so sad to throw it all away.

Then she started to change. I have never had a very good relationship with anyone in my family, and I had confided in her so much of that....my relationship with my dad is especially rocky, and she had seen me through all of that.

Just a few days ago, I talked to her...and it had been awhile since we talked. She brought up my father, and said that she had been getting to know him and blah blah blah and she was starting to doubt my honesty, and basically accused me of lying about my father to make her feel sorry for me. She had divulged things I told her in confidence to my family.

She is infiltrating my family and mudding up my name....I feel so betrayed and hurt...and angry...I'm not sure what to do, or how to handle this.

I always knew she would be in my life forever. I just never thought it would be like this. :(

Hi Soxie I am so sorry to hear about that.

She shouldn't break your confidence like that.

I wonder what her motives are though. People don't just do things like that because they feel it is "right". Is it possible that she has more sinister motives? Because she is supposed to be your friend.

Just out of curiosity I wonder what her relationship with her family is, because she seems to be trying to take some of your "territory" within your own family.

I thought of something... does your brother know about your rocky relationship with your family and father? If so then he understands what you are saying and sees his girlfriend as someone bad right? Or doesn't he know about those things?
