My best friend for 10 yrs finally responded after 6 months, I am used to them being unable to respond because of physical and mental issues and I am so grateful to know they are okay. It saved me from feeling so shitty tonight and being unable to sleep. We have been through our entire recovery journey together from when we were teenagers to now at 27 and every time I hear from them they have made more progress with their life even though they have been dealt such a heavy hand in life. They're the sibling I never had.
