[quote=Anonymous]I would keep the door open but emotionally disinvest.  I've had this happen.  The person was going through a lot and leaning on friends closer to her physically (we lived across the world from each other) and in circumstance (expat circles).  I understood all that but it was a best friends forever kinda friend and slowly realizing I wasn't as important to her anymore as she was to me was hard.

But I'm not going to burn bridges on a 20+ year old friendship. I post on her sm posts whenever she very rarely posts. Her kids are adults now and I heart their posts whenever they very rarely post. If we had had the habit of sending cards on bdays and xmas, I'd continue with that.  if I remember her birthday I'd send her abreezy hb dm.

If she ever reaches back out, I am here for old times sake, but we'll never be close again even if things change on her end.  That is the nature of friendship. Emotional trust/investment broken in adulthood like this is never really repaired.
