Hi all,
I'm going to sound like a right old bitch but here goes. I have been friends with someone for a number of years through our children and I have just had enough of her. She is exhausting. She goes from one catastrophe or crisis to another (many of them perceived or exaggerated) and I just don't have the energy or brain space to be supportive or even interested any more. Any of my advice or suggestions get thrown back at me and I'm all out of supportive umms and ahhhs.
Our children used to be friends but tbh my child doesn't really get on with this other child any more and has been treated quite badly by her. We have literally nothing in common any more, and aside from anything else I really think this friendship has reached the end of the road. She can't see this though I don't think and keeps nagging me for a catch up, play dates etc.
I'm trying to distance myself but she's not really getting the hint.
I don't want to be an awful person about this but I just feel I don't have what she needs, and I get nothing pleasurable in return. IYSWIM.
How to get out?!
