It's always a shock when a close friend reveals something about themselves that either makes us uncomfortable or frightened. I know what you mean about having online friends - I have an online friend with whom I'm close, though we've never met; so I can understand your connection to this person and your group of friends. In my own opinion, perhaps it would be a good idea to let yourself feel what you need to feel at the moment. I rationalize and objectify everything, but sometimes just taking down the walls and feeling what you have to feel without the facts might make things less muddied. Give yourself some time to breathe and to process this - it's a lot to take in, and you can take your time in dealing with this. I'm not well-versed in this area at all, so please forgive me if I speak out of line - I do not mean to at all. What are some of the good qualities that S possesses? Does she make you happy? Do you think this friendship is somethong you'd like to see continue? It is entirely up to you. Sometimes, friends part ways for a while and come back together in time. That has happened to me a time or two. It's good that your friend has support and friends to talk to, and it's obvious that you're a safe and caring person, since she has told you about her past. How would you feel about gaining some offline support? There are counseling services available, or you could talk to a friend or relative, if that is something you would like. I'm so sorry that you are going through this. Take care of yourself, and please reach out to us here if that is something you would like. [/QB][/QUOTE]
