What Do you Do When a So-Called Friend Stabs You in the Back....

Where would we be without our close girlfriends? They make us laugh, keep us sane, and are always rooting for our success. Joy Stevens, who writes for online relationship articles, describes friendship as, "an in-depth relationship combining trust, support, communication, loyalty, understanding, empathy, and intimacy." Most of us would agree her definition hits friendship right on the nose, yet we've all been stung by the betrayal of what was thought to be a loyal girlfriend. And after a so-called friend stabs us in the back, we're left shocked and hurt - usually finding it hard to decide whether to let that feeling go or let it end your friendship.
