[quote=Anonymous]My response would depend on what I wanted to get out of it. Under the circumstances, I would not want a friendship with someone like this. I also would not want to be sucked into providing support to someone who reaches out when they need something but not when I do. I might -- briefly -- want an apology or the chance to throw her shoddy behavior back in her face, but I'd probably realize pretty quickly that I wouldn't find this satisfying. In the end, I'd go with texting something vague, but pointed enough, like " I'm sorry to hear about your unsettling news. I wish you well, and I hope that you're able to find consistent sources of support during these trying times." I'm assuming that would be that. My goal would be to communicate that I've moved on. That would be it for me. If she called or texted with a genuine apology, I would assess that and then decide if it changed my feelings or my very self-protective stance in any way. [/quote]
