Ending a 17 year friendship

Hi Everyone,
I just found this website and I thought I would post what is happening with my friends and see what you guys thought! Be forewarned this is a long story but I would really appreciate some input.

My friend Jane and I have been best friends for 17 years now and she has 2 kids Gordon(22yrs old) and Ann (19yrs old) I am also very close to them as well. I live about 4 hours away from them but we manage visits once a month and talk on the phone and email all the time so we have stayed very close.
Ann decided that she wanted to move down to my area and asked me if I would move in with her and she came down on her days off to look for work and quickly found 2 jobs and she moved down immediately. Jane was very supportive saying that this would be a wonderful idea for both of us. Ann called me at work 3 days after moving down saying that her mom wanted her to move home. Which shocked both of us and she denied ever saying that this was a good idea. The following 3 weeks Jane was calling us and trying to make us feel guilty and trying to talk Ann into moving home. Ann was determined to stay in the area. Then she went home for the 2nd weekend and called me the night she was supposed to return to tell me she would be up the next day to pick up her stuff and that she was staying with her mom. All of this would have been ok with me, understandable even. Except that Ann had let it slip what her mom had been saying to try to convince her to come home. Jane had been telling lies to Ann about me, nasty lies saying that i only wanted her to move here for her car, that i was a b*tch, that I would walk all over her and more. Jane also started treating me like I was a suspicious character. I didnt call her for a couple days because I was working 13 hour days at work, and she was asking Ann what i was up to and that things seemed shady. To bring back Anns stuff, they had to bring 2 cars because there was so many people coming down with them. Jane, Gordon, Ann, James(the father) and Anns friend. I felt like scum. I took off before they showed up because i felt like they were ganging up on me or were afraid I was going to do something.
I am upset with Ann because she blindsided me...but not really upset I just wish she had warned me. But Jane is another story. I have never felt hurt and pain like i am feeling now. I haven't spoken to her since the night it was decided that Ann was moving back. And that night was only on msn messenger and she was very "I told you so"
I can't imagine being able to trust her again, but if I end our friendship I am essentially ending my friendship with Ann and Gordon as well. They all live together and are a close family. That is 3 17 year friendships that I would be losing.
So that is my story and now I am very confused and burt so any insight you guys might have would be welcomed. Thanks so much!
Angel
