Dear Mary:

You are welcome. No doubt the texting with her has to be limited to your satisfaction and to hers, so that the friendship is a Win-Win, a Win for you and a Win for her. She has to stop all guilt-tripping and gaslighting and whatever else she does that is hurting you. From the totality of what you shared, seems to me that the friendship used to be great, but it is no longer. It changed. Maybe it is better to end it than to watch it deteriorate further.
