I am so sorry to hear that.
emotion_hug I am here, if you ever need someone to vent/talk to. I know what it is like to have a family member go through that, because I lost my mom to it a few years ago. Having being used, and abused by ex's is something that is horrible, but I am very proud that you left them high and dry. I know it doesn't mean much, coming from a stranger, but I am very proud of you for doing that.
heart Same with letting go of those people, whom are a poison to you, with their emotions. You may have lost a few "friends", but that makes room to gain many more that will actually BE friends to you.
