I have a friend who is also my primary and secondary classmate who hurt our feelings a few months back. We have a closely knit group composed of maybe 12 people who were all classmates in high school. This friend of ours for no apparent reason started backstabbing us and hurling bad words toward us especially to me. Maybe she was hurt or something was bothering her at that time but she has no right doing that. We kept silent about it and just let it go. Last Friday a friend celebrated her birthday and this "backstabber friend" came, greeted and kiss all of us as if nothing happened. Literally we accepted her with open arms as if nothing happened. I guess forgiveness is a virtue? How about you?

maybe she has some kind of decease that has those attitudes and forget i dont know. i dont want to call you old i mean is just you said she is your friend for almost 50 years right? is not normal that she said bad words to you for no reason and then acts like nothing happened. do you think that she doesnt remember what she said? also is strange that just after these many many years she acted that way i dont know maybe you are right maybe she was angry with something and just discounted on you.anyway you forgave her thats so sweet of you^^ and of your friends^^ me also i would forgive my friend bcs we all have bad days and sometimes we talk rude to others without mean it^^

It is hard to forgive and forget. And you are right, she may have been sick, have had an argument with someone close to her (husband or children). I have a hard time with those type of people who change so easily, but i am one who gets depressed with all the negitivity that is around me as I feel i can do nothing right and have to lash out and usually with the wrong person (a friend i can trust).
