Dear Annemarie, I think your apology and asking for forgiveness is all you owe your friend; if she thinks about this for awhile she'll realize she was asking too much of you. If she doesn't realize this, and doesn't forgive you, then you will just have to accept that you can no longer be friends with someone who will try to drain your energy with negative B.S. when you're fighting for your life.
I myself have had a hard time with this aspect of learning how to live with bc, having always been one to do for others BEFORE I do for myself. For my own sake, I've had to reverse this order, but I think we have to put ourselves first in order to survive. We owe this to ourselves AND our families and friends.
<3,
Lolly
