A face-to-face conversation telling her how her behaviour affects you would give you peace, even if she ignores youI have been friends with a woman for more than 20 years, who has overcome many challenges, which I admire. However, she’s constantly blindsided by people. Her husband left her, and it was a huge shock. A lot of her friends disappeared at that point as they were only interested in her husband.
