My best friend and I both went through divorces last year and we've become each other's person for everything, but lately I've been feeling like we're enabling each other to stay stuck in our anger instead of moving forward. We just reinforce each other's grievances and I don't know how to break that cycle without losing the support.

A friendship that began as mutual support has become a closed loop where validation of each other's wounds prevents the growth that genuine care would encourage.
