I know it was unfair and I know that I won't feel like that later. But you can't work these things out by denying they ever come up.
This friend and I had a falling out about 12 years ago, and although I've been keeping tabs in his progress, we really haven't spoken much at all. But I never wished this on him.
I'm angry that he didn't let his support network help him. I'm angry that I couldn't have worked out our problems and have been a better friend. If that's selfish, then I'm selfish. With time, I'll probably move past it and learn. But right now, this is where I am.
