Is it normal i'm losing my best friend?

I've been friends with my best friend for eight years now. We've always been wicked close. Once we entered high school though something changed. Her grandparents died, which really affected her. She developed an eating disorder and became obessed with her weight.She lost around 50 pounds in just a couple of months. It's been 2 years since and she's become even more insecure about her weight and appearance in general.She's convinced that she needs a boyfriend to make her happy and after that she'll be fine. Instead of getting a therapist she has gotten in the habit of making me feel bad about my physical appearance, insecurities, and faults. I had a stroke when i was a baby and am now paralzyed on my right side. She makes fun of my right leg beause it has no strength and is alot smaller than my left. she kicks it and calls it "skinny leg". I know she does this because she hates herself so much but she doesnt realize it really hurts my feelings. None of our mutual friends trust her or take anything she says seriously and they tell me to do the same. But she makes me so angry. I've tried explaining this to her and all she says is "sorry" and then just continues laughing and joking about my paralysis. I've tried ending the friendship numerus times but she always texts me and makes me feel bad and constantly says she misses me and that shes definetely changed. But i can't trust her and don't want her in my life anymore. what should i do?

    everyone looses their grand parents! That's no excuse to be a bitch. You are so sweet for being so understanding towards her but you can't fix her. And it doesn't sound likes shes going to change any time soon. Don't feel guilty for leaving her if she was nice you wouldn't of had to.us Good luck

    the first thing that u owe yourself is : your dignity , your self respect...
    no one comes before that...no friend, boy friend or anyone else for that that matter...
    if she is troubles, there must be in between lapses, where she can make you understand that she is not able to control her action, but she is not doing she. she is taking your love and patience for granted......
    leave her immediately......and u will find your friend mate and i am sure u will be happy with her....
    dont think that u will nor be able to be close to anyone else... there are people who will love u for what u are.......
    go ahead and save yourself..

    She's got an eating disorder and some issues with how she feels about herself. But she's going to be messed up for a while and it might take losing a good friend like you to make her realise how flawed her behaviour is. I was in her position a few years ago and it took something pretty jarring to snap me out of it. That's an unhealthy relationship and you'd do best to get out of it. Instead of just abandoning her flat out slowly cut off ties with her and when she's dine acting like an irrational cow she can come crawling back to you.

    She's messed up now. There is nothing you can do. Find a new friend. You two were good friends as a kids because your personalities were still underdeveloped, but as your personalities developed more and more, you grew apart. When she texts you it's because she's bored, it's just her selfishness texting you. Otherwise she doesn't genuinely care about you.
