Sometimes you just can't wipe them all away. Some friends do stick with you during the messy time, but I think you need to hold on to the supportive ones and not just the ones that wanted the scoop. Sometimes it takes a while to see the difference.
I know we talked a bit about that on my thread earlier. So far I haven't called my "friend" but she hasn't called me either so I guess we know what pile to sort her in.
I am so proud of you, wish you were closer.
