I wish I could burn this advice inside my eyelids: If someone who used to treat you like shit - be it a friend, family member, or bully - reaches out to you on social media years after the fact, you are under no obligation to accept an apology, justify or excuse the harm they caused you, or accept that they have grown into a better person just because you have.

Once an abusive pattern of behavior is established, it's certainly not going to change with the passage of time alone.

#abuse #peer abuse #bullying #ptsd from bullying #boundaries #self care #i had a friend in high school who was manipulative and verbally abusive #and one of those mean girls who spread gossip to make you look crazy #and was a complete homophobe who bullied me for my sexuality #and followed my old livejournal account just to post passive aggressive lesbophobic references to me in her profile #years later she says she feels bad about how she acted and is queer #i figure that was a long time ago and she grew up #only to find she's being a creep and perving on my wife #who has never liked her and told me not to trust her in the first place #i should always listen to my wife #lesson learned for the last time
