How do I cope with not being able to talk or see my (ex) best friends?

0

I was best friends with a family. The parents were ten years older than me. They had four children who I babysat. They were basically my family. We were best friends. They recently cut me out of their life saying our relationship had become unhealthy. The kids had started choosing me over the parents and I think I may have been coming in between the husband and wife. I miss them so much and don’t know what to do. They are giving me the silent treatment. It is so hard. How do I cope with never seeing or talking to them? This almost feels like a romantic breakup? I am struggling…Also, whenever the kids see me out around town they ask why I don’t come over anymore. I can’t exactly tell them “Because your parents won’t let me”. How should I handle this? :(

It's very important to respect their wishes. So keep your distance from them. Find a hobby or activity that you can throw yourself in to. Get a bunch of new books. Start a new TV show. Try a new sport.
The only other thing that will make this easier is time. Your mind needs time to understand the situation and to accept the situation. I promise it'll hurt less and less as time goes on.

There's nothing better than just accepting their decisions. I know very well how hard it is to let someone go and how hard it can be to think that you'll never see that person again. But the truth is you never know. As long as you stay happy and positive you may see those people again. It will be even more special when you do finally see them again if you totally forgot about them.
