[QUOTE="Overwhelmed1, post: 757405, member: 24921"] JMom, with all our situations on this site, I am sure most if not all have been treated by friends or even famy in the way you describe. One of my five sisters did the worse thing imaginable to me. I have not talked to her in 5 years and never will. I was there for her when her son went to prison, when her 4 grandkids were put in foster care, and while she was fighting deep depression. I had a close friend that I was there for when she was struggling through finding out about one of her daughter's life styles and the other daughter was doing drugs and having fatherless babies. Never once did I not help her when she asked. I asked for help one time and she told me she couldn't help me. I did not ask for money or anything material. I do not speak to her any more. She will text how am I doing every now and then and I respond, fine. No more and no less and I don't continue the conversation past that. I don't need people in my life like this and neither do you. You have the right to react the way you want. You aren't physically or mentally hurting anyone. I too have found what I need here. I come and express myself, use some of the advice and never feel judged. I have learned that people are not always what they seem to be. You find true friendship from those that are honest, there for you during your worst time and do not repeat what you confide to them. I'm sorry for what this person has done. I know it hurts to be treated this way. I read your book. Thank you for writing it and sharing your experience with others. It was well written. Peace and Love [/QUOTE]
