It’s not entirely my story to tell so I’ll keep it vague.
It turned out a guy I considered my family groomed someone he met through me. His victim recently confided in me what he did to her years ago. I believed her so I confronted aforementioned “best friend” who spent more energy trying to gain sympathy over how he was “in a dark place” and that’s why he did what he did than acknowledging that he did something absolutely despicable. I kicked him out of my place and told him he’s dead to me. I’m still in the fallout of the whole situation.
Hey man, for what it’s worth, I can empathize with your situation, and I know it’s really hard to do this.
I blew up a close knit friend group because 2 different guys in it turned out to be extremely shitty. One did something very similar to what your ex friend did and the other was a controlling abuser.
After the dust settled, the neutrals in the group kinda reformed it without me, and disgustingly, from what I know they kept the 2 assholes as friends as well. They all choose to look passed what happened to this day.
It’s going to hurt for years. It’s going to be lonely, but you did the right thing and you have to remember it. You will be confronted socially with being an adversary and that makes you feel wrong and like an asshole, but you aren’t.
I still have a hard time with it. It was my core friend group of what I thought was ride or dies and I’m not in it anymore, because I had had enough and spoke up. I got punished for it.
There will be whirlwinds of emotions and is okay to feel all of them.
I became friends with a guy I met through some friends and he ended up being a pedophile and interested in kids my kids age. Immediately dropped him when I learned
Wanna give more context, or not feeling comfortable enough for it?
