Title: Accepting friend suddenly disowned me?
Post by: Priya on March 01, 2018, 09:55:37 AM
Hi new here I had a cis female friend when I came out she was very supportive but suddenly she disowned me accusing me of invading women's spaces and toilets and she threatened to throw acid at me. I'm sickened at what I thought was a trustworthy friend could do this.

Very disappointing when a friend turns on you like that.  Disowning you and making accusations is hostile and worthy of being dumped as a friend.  But threatening to throw acid in your face is a criminal matter, and should be reported to the police.

I agree with everything KathyLauren said.  I would suggest staying away from her too.  If that's unavoidable watch for any signs of hostility and report it to the authorities.

If stuff happens then there is a documented history that will be on your side.  That's important because without it things will not go your way.  It could also indicate premeditation and not a snap decision.

Priya, I have to echo the sentiments of Kathy and Denise.  Avoid and report!
I am sorry this happened from someone you felt you could trust.  I hope it doesn't make you believe that you can't trust anybody. 

Hugs, Jessica

@ Priya:  I have had more than one friend turn away from me along with some family members that won't hardly talk to me any longer.  Very disheartening, just when you need your friends the most....  BUT, there will be those that stick with you and also you will develop new friends and acquaintances that will accept and support you.

By the way, if you feel the "acid" or violence threat is real, do as KathyLauren, Jessica, and Denise suggested, document it and or have a friend with your to hear it.  If you feel it is imminent you should report it to the police for their records and possible action.

Stay safe and best wishes to you,

@ Priya:  Even "if" the police don't believe you, at the very least they can put a report in their files so if something does happen they can take immediate action.
In my opinion you should go to the police and file a report and don't worry about what they think of you and your situation....  they are experts at handling many times worse and stranger situations.
