I have spent the day with my terminally ill mum (cancer) and whilst we have shared some lovely moments I am very distressed about her physical decline. It really is horrendous for her and my dad. I have started the grieving process.
I have a good friend who lost her dad some years ago. To be fair she has been quite supportive recently listening to my problems. Today I met up with her in the library. She started telling me how I should take out some library books to entertain my dd in the cafe.. When I told her I couldn't be bothered she started applying pressure. To which I just snapped and said I wouldn't bother going to the cafe as I can't be bothered faffing around with library books, fines and friends who are trying to put pressure on at this time.
I took dd to the loo and came back and said friend was clearly in a mood. She said she didn't expect to be treated like shit or spoken to like shit and that she knows what grief is. I told her that she should then know that my behaviour isn't personal but I have a short fuse as I am so fucking angry that mum is suffering and will then die.
I just feel that she feels that I shouldn't be grumbling as she has alos had a loss in the past.
She made me feel like I can't lean on her any more as she said that she has done so much for me and has been there for me. She just sounds a bit resentful. Who can you fucking rely on. I'm single to so have no supportive dp.
