I have a friend from my child's school who I have supported over the past year as she had been through a bad time and I thought she could do with a mate. The bad thing that happened to her left her isolated as her friends ( also school mums) were involved and all fell out with her and turned against her even though she had done nothing wrong. She was the victim in it all but I suppose it made their lives easier to not talk to her.
We were already friends but we became closer during this time and I know she didn't really have any other mates. One of her old friendship group was really vile to her during the fall out of all this and they didn't speak for over a year.
Now it's apparent they're talking again which is nothing to do with me, but now I'm being ignored. They were at the school earlier with their back to me, whispering and did not even look at me which made me feel horrible and awkward. After being her best mate for a year am I now just an acquaintance? If I'm honest I know the whole thing is silly. We're all women in our 30s and it's pathetic but I feel used by her and obviously I thought we were friends. Does she think that little of me that she jumped at the chance to be friends with them again that she can't even look at me? I've cooled off on texting her and I'm not talking to her as much. I don't even know why I'm posting this. I just feel like an idiot.
