When your best friend turns against you
What do you do when your best friend of many years turns against you abruptly and unexpectedly? He/she suddenly changes from being supportive, encouraging and loyal to uncaring, aggressive and threatening? Your first reaction may be surprised and unbelief. You attempt to discuss... talk ... dialog ... hoping your friend changes behavior ... apologizes or at least respond to your peace offering. To your disappointment you discover he/she is convinced that you have abused of the many years of friendship and continues with more persistent harsh attacks ... your disappointment may turn to anger and now you are in a serious conflict reacting with tit-for-tat.
