It only sounds like that to paranoid, sexist ears. You can come up with a word that removes any focus from women. Those of us who are are unashamed to be focusing on the materially exploited class within gender relations – women – will ignore your new word and continue to be feminists.

idk dude “I hope you’re taking your meds” like should one really be leveraging ableism to get the upper hand? smh

There is a vast difference between “I have found it difficult to have healthy relationships with people with BPD and BD” and “friendships with BPD and/or bipolars will invariably end up ugly.”

I got into a horrific fight with a friend of mine a few years ago. Things had been simmering between us and I too was dealing with some depression & drinking too much.

Analogy. Look it up. I’m trying to show you by analogy that what you're doing is unfair to a class of people. You don't want to get it, cool with me. Namaste.

I also thought something positive could come out of our discussion. I thought I could help you understand why the way you talk about mental illness is ableist and help you have some compassion for people suffering from conditions that are largely out of their control. However, now that I’ve read all of your responses…

I was with you until this line:

For the average person splitting with a friend, a public takedown of this sort would be seen as classless and petty. For someone who claims to be devoted to “spirituality” and “mental positivity” doing it to a person with deep mental health struggles, it is self righteous and cruel.

Why the asterisks? C*ntface is no more or less offensive than cuntface. The letter u is not the issue with that word.

The text, while defensive and insulting about the husband’s finances, said nothing even similar to “wish you were dead/harmed, you are Satan and deserve the worst”.

Me, reading this, “Oh so you are both total assholes, cool cool coolcooooolcoooool.”

You’re a bigger person that I would probably be in that situation

The following day, after having left the topic amicably alone, she sent my husband vitriolic text. We were both so shocked neither of us spoke to her that day.

It was left vague for good reason, I would imagine. My initial thought was what did this husband say to have someone lash out back at him in such a horrific way? It had to have been a fairly dirty fight. Much more than a casual disagreement between husband and friend.

Yeah, and what did the husband say to make her lash out like that? Has the husband been making slight digs at the friend for years? We’ll never know. After reading this I can’t blame a spiritual person for not wanting to be around somebody who will write about my personal life for clicks.

Meh, the text sent to her husband was beyond shitty, but I feel like throwing any shade in this situation isn’t fair because we don’t know what the husband and friend fought about initially. It sounds like things have been simmering for a long time for this lady to walk away from her closest friend. And the way the…

Hate to break it to you, but you’re both shitty friends. This article is nothing more than revenge trying to disguise itself as a ‘thoughtful meditation’ on the end of the friendship. As you said, there’s a part of you (I’d suspect a large part) that is upset that you were the dumpee. So you took to the internet to…

Maybe I’m missing something, but what does her spirituality have to do with this breakup? Sounds like the two of you had a falling out over something personal that had nothing to do with religion or spirituality, yet the headline makes it seem like that was what pushed your friendship over the edge.

Depends on what the text was in response to, really. That was left contrastingly vague in the blog-post.
