I thought of this post weeks ago as I witnessed a ten year friendship turn volatile. I was watching the infamous Basketball Wives as Evelyn Lozada climbed on top of a conference room table and jumped to get at her former BFF, Jennifer Williams. Ev (as affectionately called on the show) was unsuccessful in reaching her target but then attempted to throw whole pieces of furniture across the room. Fortunately for all involved, that attempt was also thwarted.

Once friends for over ten years, the
relationship not only dissipated but became volatile, bullying, vicious and
ugly. Who these women had been to other
people was now turned toward each other.
Hurt people, hurt people~ Bill Cosby.
Originally I thought the friendship between the two had run its course;
its season was due. I also thought
Jennifer grabbed a stance that Evelyn could and would not wrap her brain
around. They were both hurt. The pain displayed was too intense for either
of them not to care.
