Windbreeze62 agony auntYou said she's been married and divorced and that you both are mothers. It would seem that she and you have moved on but are holding on to the fact that you two were friends for 13 years.

You have to either jump back into the platonic friendship or let her go. You stated you two can't be together so you can watch her as your best bud live her life the way she chooses or choose not to be friends at all.

You could start by setting up boundries in your relationship.

Before that, you need to decide if you can make this sacrifice for her and still maintain friendly contact, or if even friendly contact is too much pain for you to bear.
