I'm sorry the person you thought was your friend turned on you like this. I don't know if there is a right choice, or if the stuff you were told is even correct. But I think it was wise to decide quickly and move on that decision while you still had some semblance of yourself. I hope your story ends in peace one way or another.

Fuck. I wish I could help but thankfully I live way the hell away from there. Wish you the best of luck though.

Be careful OP. How sure are you that the spirit didn't set you up somehow?
