To vent or not to vent, that is the question...
|
I've been a fan of the clean break for decades.
So that would be a vote for your first choice. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
I would advocate for unfriending and ignoring the response, but if responding to her helps you vent then go for it.

Sorry to hear about your health.
Hope you beat this. Stay strong. I'd ignore and drop, if I wer to drop. I only respond if I think it worthwhile to see the other person respond to my response. Otherwise, ... what's the use? But... that's me. You do you.

If the other girl is merely someone you went to school with and not an actual real life friend, just dump her ass.

I doubt you'll change her mind, I personally would let her have the last word and just unfriend her.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
I wouldn't unfriend, myself, if she is a friend irl. I guess it depends on how sensitive you might be to difference of opinion between friends.
Venting, though, that's useful. Do so here, or start a journal if you don't already keep one. 
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."

FWIW, when I was a hospice volunteer during the worst of the AIDS Crisis (before the anti-viral cocktails mid 90s) I was exposed to all manner of treatment rostrums, dubious palliatives and absurd protocols.
I took it all in stride, as long as something wasn't directly harmful* it didn't matter since there was precious little in the formulary that did actually work. Additionally, I knew someone in an experimental treatment study for Betaseron. I studied the materials and science on it (and seemingly saw with my own eyes that it 'worked') and I was even provoked to tears when 'C' let me hold a vial of it since I considered it The Cure at the time, and nevertheless, taken as a whole, the study's results definitively indicated it was NOT a treatment for HIV. It cuts both ways, it turns out. *I was prepared if someone wanted to take something harmful and was aware of it, that it might be intended as something other than a treatment. At that point my concern would have changed to insuring it was 'adequate' for it's purpose. The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
