<human>: I [27M] started hanging out with a group of friends about 8-9 years ago, and that girl [25] joined us around then as well. As time passed, we became good friends and were hanging out regularly, in groups or maybe just us 2 (walking around town, the mall, watching tv). All this time she was in a relationship with one guy in that group (good friend of mine), so nothing romantic going on between us.

After about 6 years of their relationship, those two break up. A few months after that, she gets in a relationship with another guy (who she met before her breakup). From there, I never did hang out with her again; whenever I'd ask her to hang out, she'd reply "sure ill get back to you" and nothing after that. She later replied to a message of mine on how she needed to "cut ties with her old life" or something; she unfriended a lot of people on FB (went from like 60+ mutual friends with her, to only 1)

About 2 years later (present day), I see her commenting on some old FB pics, then sending friend requests to some people including me. Going against my inner voice telling me to just not bother, I sent her a text asking what made her come back to her old life. She replied how she was in a toxic relationship with a controlling boyfriend and she wanted to do what it takes for his approval. Now she is out of that relationship and realizes how she misses us and how unhappy she's been.

Looking for opinions. Do I give her a chance and maybe be friend with her again? Do I stop talking to her just like she did when she cut ties? I'm hoping to get some insight from people who had a similar experience with someone cutting ties who tried to come back, and how it turned out.

Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell
<bot>: Girl cut ties with her friends because of toxic boyfriend, now she's no longer with him and wants to be friend with us again. Do I let her rot or give her a chance?
