I have been friends with 'A' since I was 11.
We've moved in and out of each others lives with ease.
I was bridesmaid at her wedding. Babysat her kids.
We've laughed. We've cried.
I never married so always travelled to visit her as it was easier. I had no kids.
Then I got pregnant. A surprise pregnancy very late in life. I was ecstatic. Didn't think it would ever happen.
My DP turned out not so 'D'. I became a single parent. Devastated. Breakdown. Told no-one. Just missed his name off Christmas card... seemed the easiest thing to do. Path of least pain.
Throughout the last 5 years no contact with 'A'. I couldn't travel to her. She never bothered to come to me. Despite invites.
I suddenly realised that she had ignored my birthday and sent no Christmas card for several years, despite me always sending to her.
We have chatted on FB. I explained about breakdown. Said how difficult life has been. But ok now!
We both have a big birthday coming up. I invited her to my celebration. 'A' can't make it. Asked her what she's doing for her birthday. Nothing... just small family party.
On FB today... loads of birthday wishes to 'A' and messages about 'looking forward to party'...
I am really hurt. I've been exited haven't I? Didn't see it coming. Do I say something? Ask what I've done... or just move on?
Feel so sad this evening.
