Just had to end a friendship with a friend I've known for at least 5 years now. His anger and rage have been just getting so horrible, and he has burned a lot of bridges due to it. But I finally hit my limit, I can't deal with it anymore. I'm tired of the excuses for not seeing a therapist, of the constant blowups, of just never knowing when I can even talk to him without him going off about something. It hurts like hell, but if my leaving finally sets him straight, then good, let it. He'll just have to deal with the pain of losing a close friend for the rest of his life.
