Positive interaction was resumed earlier this year at the funeral of my aunt because enough time had passed and I'd moved on .... but cutting off contact for fourteen years felt right at the time and, in the same situation again, I'd likely make the same decision.

I've often let go of friends, some of whom were toxic but many who were not. I think that people and friendships are there for a purpose but it's not always an everlasting one ... sometimes it's good or necessary to move on.

Sometimes I'd like to be able to do this but it's just not my style. If I'm not enthused by someone, I find it hard to hide.
