a year or so ago a friend came to me needing help, he was depressed & on drugs. i brang him into my home, fed him & put money in his pocket. it took awhile to beat the depression & drug problem but we did it, i also paid for him to retrain & better he's carreer options. he found a well paying job & moved out, this is where the problem is. (i never asked or expected to be paid back the money thats not the issuse) we kept in contact both phone & in person but a few months ago he stopped returning my calls, texts & emails, i thought he went back to drugs & didnt want to face me. but thats not the case at all, i finally heard from him today this is what he said " i have met & become friends with other people & no longer want to talk to you as these other friends are more interesting then you are, please dont contact me again" at least he said please. i really dont know how to feel about this, a part of me wants to punch the crap out of him for throwing me away like that & another part is really upset about the whole thing... what are your thoughts?

If I were you I would just do what he asks for now. When he realizes what a true friend you were to help him all you did he'll probably change his mind. If not then I would look at it as his loss because he's the one giving up a friend who willl obviously go above and beyond what any friend has to do to help a friend out.

You cant really expect people to treat you the way you wanted him to treat you.
But be proud of yourself, you have been an instrument to get him out of his past ordeal. You may loose a friend and you may feel that you dont deserve anything he has shown you now, but think of a lot of friends you have with you now who are so happy to be a part of your life. Cheer up, evrything happens for a reason.

I agree with that. You saved a life. Be comforted in that the blessing is also yours to keep. Hold onto it. Dont let his actions degrade from your blessing. If only half the world had such a friend as you.. well you know the rest. Cheers to you.

I I were you I will be forget all about him and go on my life. Our life is not made up for people around us. We should take time for ourselves to become happy.
The guys a wash out! He is a no good fellow! He should be thrown away. I know what are you feeling right now because I have encounter the same problem when I was in college. I always thought that we are friends then suddenly I was shock to know that he has been talking behind my back.
I hope that you will not spend another time time thinking of these so called friends!
