My Best Friend’s Family Blamed Me for Her Mental Health Crisis

My best friend and I became close at university after knowing each other since secondary school. We supported each other through difficult times, and I saw her as family. Everything changed when she suddenly left our group chat and sent alarming messages about me. Her brother later told me she was experiencing a mental health crisis, but her family believed I was responsible and blocked every attempt I made to reach her. When we finally spoke years later, she apologised and explained that she did not know her family had shut me out. We are cordial now, but losing her without any explanation changed how easily I trust new friends.
