I trusted you tremendously and considered you a dear friend for many years. You generously opened your home to me and I opened my heart to you as well. I will always appreciate the support you offered me, and especially, the kindness you provided me when I was in very diffcult times in my life.

Then your husband grabbed my tits and forced me to kiss him and you brushed it off with "he does things like that sometimes." So yeah, I've kept my distance.

We are both flawed and beautiful people who are worth knowing, worth loving, and worth caring for, Soleil. Of course we are losing something. I'm gaining something in exchange for what I'm losing: An increased feeling of security and safety among my friends, and the knowledge that they've got my back when people are horrible to me. I hope you are gaining something in exchange, too.
