[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In my response to her, I would include the following elements:
it was so nice of you to write
thank you so much for complimenting my daughter
no need to apologize about middle school - we were both really young kids, no harm done..we had some great times together back then
hope everything's great with you!
great to hear from you

I would leave out "no need to apologize." There's nothing wrong with owning that you hurt someone and trying to make amends. I'm all for forgiving, but not for discouraging an apology.

OP I've had two long lost best friends go to some effort find me after many years. (FB was not born yet). Both dumped me during pre-adolescence or adolescence maybe because I was the nerdy one going the academic route and our lives were moving in different directions. One was a popular cool girl who partied and lived out the whole soap opera thing in highschool. She stopped returning calls or making any effort. The other did a lot of backstabbing. It's hard not to take it personally, but she had her own demons-depression, eating disorder and substance abuse. Neither have apologized. Would have liked it if they had. I still let them back into my life and we are friends again. [/quote]
