Was it right for my friend to cut me off because of my past life?

[Anonymous]

So I made friends with this girl for about a year and when I explained to her about my past and all the shit I went though, she was shocked. She screamed at me for doing bad crap and she doesn’t want to be associated with a former drug addict. She was like, “I thought you were a good, sweet, and perfect person since you go to church but I guess you’re not the Christian woman I thought you were!! No wonder for ex best friend cut you off! Stay the fuck away from me!
She left the park and drove away. I tried calling her later, I couldn’t reach her. She blocked my number, social media and email. I used to do drugs when I was a teen and young adult. My parents divorced, mom was emotionally and physically abusive to me so I turned to drugs. Then I got addicted to alcohol since I was 21. I got arrested for DUI and I payed my mistakes. People make mistakes!!! We’re not perfect! I know what I did was wrong. My former best friend abandoned me because she didn’t want to be around me and I needed to get help which I don’t blame her. We still talk but we’re not as close as we use to and that’s my fault. I’m got cleaned up, went to rehab and I’ve been sober for two years.

She acts like most people are perfect. She said once she broke up with her boyfriend of six months, because he was a former jail inmate and his past life.

Well congratulations first of all for owning yourself and not being afraid to show who you truly are or truly have been that is power that is powerful

And this is how society is that girl then let's go to church and she believes in all this crap on who she is and what she's all about and if she's supposed to be a Christian look at the way she treated you look at how she acted that is the furthest thing from somebody being good somebody being righteous somebody being religious somebody believing in God that's the complete opposite

And it's funny because so much of society is like that and you are more pure and more better of a person than she will ever be as far as I'm concerned just with this one question whatever the question might be no it's not right for her to do that is what I'm trying to say but we all go through things in life some are difficult some are hard and there's a battle there's a struggle everyday and people don't understand that and it's not their duty to understand that it's not their business anyway but when you can do what you have done and keep growing each and every day to become that better person and since you've been there you understand other people that's one of the greatest gifts that you can be given to yourself it's not right what she did in one sense
But in every other sense it had to happen because you have to look at it deeper she's not meant to be in your life because she is one of the triggers he will be one of the things that make you downfall because she's not real she's not honest she's a hypocrite probably in many many ways but you have to understand the path that you are on and you know as well as I do everything happens for a reason in this world and she was taken out of your world because she's not good for you it's not the other way around it's she's not good for you you have done nothing wrong except for become a better person you have grown where she cannot grow because she sees things in a tunnel vision in a little circle hold your hand up put your thumb and your first finger together like an okay sign that's the little world she lives in and I'll spread your arms wide wider that is the world that you live in because you have fallen you have gotten up you have learned and you keep going forward and that circle those arms keep opening wider and wider and wider because that's who you are you see things for what they are worth and you have been through something that you have changed she's still in that little circle that you were in that you decided to get out of it by doing the right things she doesn't need to be addicted to anything to be in that circle we're all in that little circle until we open our eyes do we become real I say congratulations I say you have 50 more years and I can tell you this true it gets so much easier once you let it just go all the way there's no stopping you

I want to say that she isn't behaving like a true Christian by how judgmental she is being towards your changed self, it seems she has forgotten that many people find God through struggles and nobody is perfect and we all struggle with sin and fight temptations, as a Christian man I applaud your change and your ability to make the decisions to change and I'm glad God helped you through your worst times and something better bloomed out of it, people aren't forced to be friends with you but its also not a valid justification for them to be judgmental towards you if you've changed for the better, you keep at it and find better friends.

You should come down here to Florida and attend my church. You would fit in perfectly because every single one of us is a sinner!

[Asker]

Hahaha very funny

[OlderAndWiser]

But it's true. EVERY Christian is a sinner, including the holier-than-thou's who act as if they don't sin every day.

I don't with drug users because a lot of them lie and try get money from me to feed their drug usage. But that's just me I don't trust anything they say.

[Asker]

Well the thing is I didn’t ask for money and I had a job but then I got fired. Can’t believe she dumped me over my past but I understand what you mean.

She doesn't really sound like a person is worth having in your society anyways. It doesn't seem like a big deal for you. She doesn't sound like Christan to be honest. Most Christans I know will judge or make fun of you, but they always accept you and have a place for you in their community despite your differences. Some talk shit, but they never just out right tell you you're not a real Christan and stop talking to you.

[slatyb]

Wow, that's really weird. She can do as she pleases. Sorry.

[Asker]

Whatever. She wants to dump a friendship just because of my past!

I think she was being irrational. Like you said nobody is perfect.




She must think she is
