My Ogham recommend completely cutting them off, like Cut & Clear spell on a Saturday during the hour of Saturn, throwing a bottle into a river and not going back the way you came. I am surprised they are this hardcore but from what I can see, they don't think these friends are of any benefit to you at all anymore. I feel your pain, because after a series of divinations, I cut and cleared my oldest friend, a person I had known since childhood. The bottom line is I did not feel this person had my back and like many of my former friends, was not capable of making a deep connection with me that was free of envy. Perhaps it was just me projecting my shadow upon them, as I have been guilty of envy many times, but one way or another, we grew apart.
For completely cutting them out of your life, my Ogham provide Coll or Wisdom well-dignified. This is to say that the Wise Ones (holy powers, deities, beings who are smarter than humans who actually like us and want to help us) see the future with these people bringing nothing but futility and pain. You can learn this the hard way or the easy way, and Coll in this dignity represents the latter.
For giving them some limited information and interaction with you, my Ogham provide Gort or Perseverance ill-dignified. If you give these people an inch, they will make sure to take a mile. They will try your patience and try to pull "GOTCHAS" at every meeting because they have internalized guilt and worry about what they did. Perhaps they are still under whatever spell drove them to madness these past three years.
For allowing them back into your life with open arms, my Ogham provide Muin or Harvest ill-dignified. Muin and Gort are right next to each other in the Ogham deck: Muin is the first Water card and Gort is the second one. Basically, nothing good will come of forgiving them and it seems likely they will go to their deaths believing in The Science and whatever helps them sleep at night. I'm sure you're familiar with my hypothesis that a good number of the quaxxed will spend some quality time in hell/hells, right? If not, here it is. It's pretty dark. https://kimberlysteele.dreamwidth.org/76360.html
