Friends after divorce...

After being married to an alcoholic and occasional drug abuser, I found that the "old friends" are now extremely toxic people. I'd been longing to outgrow that lifestyle for way to long, and my spouce running out on me gave me that opportunity to FINALLY grow up.

Wonderful.... at first. Later I found that my "friends" were more interested in continuing to disfunction with my X than they were in my healing and new life.

And, then later, I found myself with very few friends.

I've been upset about that... but haven't taken that leap to find new folks... well, at least real life folks as apposed to online folks.

I guess my point is two fold. Great article. And sometimes those old friends just don't FIT into the new life.
