After a very drawn-out, unpleasant relationship with a friend, I finally broke it off. We had only known each other for a year, and with all the difficulties we had in that short amount of time, I didn't think the friendship was worth trying to save. I had tried to be her friend all throughout the school year. Even when she had some of the most difficult experiances of her life, I stuck by her- Only to be told I was a terrible friend because she said she "couldn't comprehend my personality." So when school ended, she yelled at me once again, telling me that I was purposefully ignoring her, and hurting her even though we had only been out of school for a few days. That was when I told her I couldn't be friends with her anymore. After that, she didn't talk to me for a while. But then, a few weeks later, she tried to talk to me again and tell me stories about what was happeing in her life, as if we were still as good of friends as we were at the beginning of the year. I ignored her. That time, I actually purposefully ignored her, as I had been accused of doing before. I felt that it was the kindest thing I could have done in that situation. I knew that will all the built up anger and stress and negativity associated with the relationship, if I talked to her, I would explode and tell her all the things I hated about her and all the things that she did to drive me away.
So I was wondering, was I right to give her the silent treatment as a kindness? I felt it was the best thing to do, but I'm not sure...
And also, I kind of wanted to write her a friendly letter telling her the things that bothered me about our friendship in order to save someone else from the same experiance we had. But I don't know if that would help or not, and I feel like maybe I should just leave it alone. What do you guys think?
Oh and, if you want to read my FULL story about this relationship, it was my first blog.

Student, walking by: Nice job, asshole.
Suit, turning around with a smile: I know! You should try it some time!
