Now and then when I decide to talk to her about it, she says she is sorry but then she thinks that's enough and leaves me in the dumps again. Now I've made a new best friend and she has the same problem with her best friend.

I don't know how to confront them without feeling guilty. Then I get mad at myself and now I pretty much hate my (best) friend. So help us please.”
