Just wanting opinions over something I've been mulling over for a while now.
I met friend a year ago, all was good and dandy she was nice enough and our DC got on well. She was quite clingy expecting me to see her 3-4 times a week, but I thought she was getting to know me.
She knows I have an auto immune disease which means I can go AWOL for a while, while I'm dealing with my illness flare ups this can last months and I'm basically incapable of doing anything for myself let alone seeing friends and being socialable.
Anyway, a few weeks ago I had another flare up and went AWOL I was litteratly and still am sleeping 15-16 hours a day (which with two DC on summer hols as well is very hard as well as keeping on top of friendships, texts etc.) and had a lot of family stress on my plate which obviously must come first.
I received a message off her saying she felt like we had grown apart simply because I hadn't messaged her for a few weeks.
AIBU to feel a bit put out here? I didn't think not tending to a friendship for a few weeks would be the end of it? I'm 40 something years old and I feel like I'm back in the school yard.
This isn't the first time she's said something like this either, and regularly complains if people don't message her or message her first.
I'm just wondering if it's worth my time and energy (of what I have little left!) investing in sorting things out or if I should run away? Or I'm being a crappy friend like she's making out I'm being.

AIBU?
Am I a rubbish friend or is this to much?
