Frenemy - Wikipedia
I like this quote.
Sigmund Freud said of himself that "an intimate friend and a hated enemy have always been indispensable to my emotional life…not infrequently…friend and enemy have coincided in the same person".[9]
With 67 years on the clock I can say I've had my fair share of frenemies. As a result I'm cautious about forming friendships.
My mother lived to 82 and passed just before I my 44th birthday. Her capacity to make life-long friends with whom she kept contact and often visited has not carried over into my life. Quite the opposite.
I was single until age 32 and prior to that many of the friends I kept company with either endorsed decadence, or entangled me in detrimental activities. Fortunately I discovered I had an inate ability to escape relationships that subjected me to domination and manipulation beyond a tolerable threshhold, but this frequently required me to spend long periods of time with just myself for company.
Praise God that He works all things for good for those that love Him and are the called according to His Purpose. (Romans 8:28)
