Oomis, it’s hard to give an eitzah since I don’t know the specifics, but is there mutual acquaintance, such as a rov, who can try to make sholom? “

Not really. It makes me sad because I have been a very good friend, but she hurt me irreparably, by hurting someone very close to me. She is playing the victim, though, as though she is the injured party.

Why did I bring this up? Because from time to time I see people in the CR, posting things that might be terribly hurtful to another poster. Perhaps they think it is funny, perhaps they think the person deserves some mussar, perhaps they mean nothing at all by it. Onaas devarim, and especially when done on a public site, is as bad as embarrassing someone face to face in public. If I have learned anything from my recent upsetting experience, it is that we really DO have to think twice before we hit the “Send” button.
