I read this on Oprah Magazine and had to share!

This article is titled "Friendship Detox" "When poison pals infect your life, sometimes you just need to say goodbye-and good riddance" this got my attention! since I have been dealing with a guilt and sadness of a loss friendship, and need to learn that is not all my fault, I guess when you become a stay at home mom you rely on your friends a little more for confort and companionship. My children are great and love them but we all need our girlfriends!

After the article talks about the different types of toxic friendship she goes on to say "I've had a few such friendship terrorist in my life, and I'm absolutely certain I've been one at times, too, but part of growing up means knowing when to stop playing pretend. Remaining attached to some people is like slaving over a withered garden without realizing all the plants are dead. And letting the negative relationships suck up time and energy only deprives us of the opportunity to nurture and appreciate those friendships that actually work."

"The truth never fails to show itself in those "thousand little gestures." True friends bear each other's burdens and accept each other's weaknesses, because without reciprocity, there is nothing. Friendship is about collaboration, not domination. Because we should be stewards of each other's rooms, I am happy to help you keep yours clean, but life is too fleeting to let you continue trashing mine."
