I am very sorry to hear this.
It must have been horrible and still would be with others taking sides.
Friendship works both ways. Not telling the truth is unacceptable in any friendship.
Friendships are built on faith and trust, plus that something that draws you to a person and you can relate to.
Your service for the armed services goes above and beyond what anyone I know has ever done. To find yourself in this position makes me angry on many levels.
I am so sorry you had to go through this, and I hope things have settled down now, but if it happened to me, it would leave a scar for a long time....
Just know that you are never alone as I am sure you do.
