How does one end a long friendship with another? The friend has become toxic to the individual who wants to "break up".
Any thoughts on doing it eloquently?

Say it legally. Make out an Affidavit or lodge a police complaint and seek a restraining order. It's no longer friendship but bullying & gas lighting. Make the police call the person and issue a warning, which becomes official. Some just don't get the seriousness of the matter.
