An individual writes to the Dear Abby advice column seeking guidance regarding a decade-long friendship that has grown strained following a severe mental health crisis. The letter writer states that they attempted to support their best friend during the difficult period, despite being pushed away and having plans canceled at the last minute on numerous occasions.
After the friend's mental health began to improve, the writer approached her to address the situation, leading to questions about whether to confront the former best friend and why she no longer appears to want the writer around during better times.
