My toxic best friend keeps testing my loyalty
DEAR DEIDRE: Two weeks after I told my toxic former best mate that I never wanted to speak to her again, she has messaged, begging me to forgive her.
But I’ve given her so many chances already. We’re 17 and have been best friends since the start of secondary school.
She’s done many horrible things – told my secrets to the class, ruined my relationship with my ex and made me feel I’m fat, ugly and worthless.
The last straw was when she got together with a boy I fancied, just to prove she’s more attractive than me.
Should I let her back in or tell her our friendship is over?

DEIDRE SAYS: It sounds like she’s jealous of you. If you have history and really care, try telling her how you feel and make it clear what you will not accept in future.
My support pack Standing Up For Yourself should help you to do this.
But you deserve a mate who makes your life better, not worse.
