Dear Annie: Drifting apart from friend in a different life season
Nov 16, 2024
Dear Annie: I’m in a terrible conflict with my closest friend “Claudia” and can’t figure out the way forward. We’re both in our early 30s and have been friends for seven years, having met through her now-husband and my ex-husband, who are childhood friends. Claudia supported me through a traumatic divorce two years ago, and we became like family. But since then, I’ve struggled with depression, moving back in with my parents in another state and losing my job, while she got engaged, landed a high-powered job and recently married.
