I'm sorry that you are having trouble with loyalty in friendship. Losing close family members is very trying. Maybe you can find someone here who will prove much more loyal.

Definitely not selfish....
I know how you feel, I'm the friend that people always turn to and I'm always there with an open heart and ear. But I have no one to return that favour for me. I hope sincerely that you find a good friend and also that things pick up for you.

for you. NIkki

Re: Rainy
Thank you... Death is easier to deal with I think. Not that it wasn't hard because it was... But there is less of that level of rejection.
You are right, equal partnerships. Some times though, our eyes are blinded and we don't see things accurately.

Nope, we all need that number on speed dial that we can call no matter what the time. If we spend too much time accomodating others, then they grow to expect it. Friendships are supposed to be equal partnerships from the beginning and if that doesn't happen, then they really aren't that good of friends. :-(
Sorry about your mom and oma.

Rainy day
it is odd how some poeple have a twisted notion of friendship. You are better off without this woman, and you will find to be there by your side, even if it was only one, she or he will be worth the wait. Take care.

I'm sorry you're going through such a hard time. Nothing hurts quite like friends that turn on you.

It certainly seems like that most of the time!

Re: rainy
Troosha~ Thanks. Part of me hopes so, but then I think about how I just don't have it in me to do it again. :) It's good to know the world works like that!

There are a few “Sex in the City” friends out there but they’re certainly rare. I’m so sorry that you’ve been though so much and then had to face the bite of a selfish friend. Your disappointment must run so deep. I suspect you’ll meet someone new and develop a nurturing and abiding friendship with that person. The Universe simply works that way so don’t lose hope.

Re: maybe they are not your whenever forever friend.
And that is definatly something we all have to learn. Great advice Riri. We all have to be there for ourselves and remember no one is perfect, we let each other down!

Thanks for your kind words. I agree with all that you said, (not to say that it didn't hurt) but this current friend pulling the same (sort of) crap. I just don't get the thought process...

No, not selfish at all. We all need friends we can call on when in need. I'm so sorry to read about all that happened to you.
