I'm in my 50s have a adult daughter and pet cats.
I have health problems as well. I.find it extremely difficult to make friends and understand people. I.end up getting hurt and I retreat .At the moment I am very unhappy. I used to have who I thought was a friend who had a go at me for trival thing. I said I needed.space for a bit. And because I wasn't messaging her for a few days , she accused me of snubbing her.
Then she said vile things about my counselling I was having and accused me of being fickle and saying horrible things. I used to go to a craft group but can't now as she goes and turned another against me. This upset me. Stupidly I post it on Facebook and said how one sided the friendship was. It was true. Her moaning about her life etc. Anyway someone saw it ,had a go at me .I took it down and apologise.
However someone's sent her my post and she put a letter through my door. Being horrible and saying I don't have autism, I play on it, . I have been diagnosed. She said I must of managed all this time , I was diagnosed in my 50s. I have struggled all my life. Then she said she is going to sue me for slander. . I am terrified. Felt like ending it all.
Didn't put lies, why is that needing space so bad.
There is nothing wrong with wanting some space. Cut her out of your life and move on. Someone who calls themself your friend and then acts like that isn't worth your time or energy.
I had a support worker a while back who was nasty to me in similar ways to your horrible friend. It takes a while for the hurt to dissipate but it will in time.
I had a cat who I took to the vet a few weeks back. The vet told me he had cancer and would need to be put down to prevent him suffering.
Im looking to make some new friends, so if you wanna talk cats with me, you can send me a PM if you like.
