What would you say to this 'friend'?

I have name changed.
Have a 'friend' who I fell out with in the summer.To cut a long story short I was 2 weeks away from having ds2 and had a 2 yr old.I went to visit her and she thought it was 'funny' after a stressful tube journey not to tell me her new address.So she wanted me to wait at a tube station and in her own time she would tell me her address as I was visiting her and her new baby(I had lovely gifts etc).
I waited with a bored 2 year old and she never got back to me so I went straight home and took him to the park.She sent her a message saying how rude she was to make a heavily pregnant person wait for her etc.
She then gave me weeks of abuse-swearing/nasty nasty things that I won't repeat(because I dared tell her she was rude).
Since then I have had ds2 and she told me she was missing me and sorry for how things went etc.
I had had a large glass of wine and stupid soft me responded.Although I have kept her at 'arms length'.My OH was LIVID that I got back in touch with her.
I decided to give her another chance.So she came round my house and her ds1 was calling me and me ds1 awful names and hit my ds1 in the face(she pretended it didn't happen).
He also jumped on my furniture etc.
I have been around hers and it was awful.
Anyway the other day she told me that I am always 'too busy' for her so(walkover)me asked her around for lunch.
Last night OH went to the shops to buy lovely food.Today she didn't bother to turn up.No text.Nothing.
I know nothings wrong as she has been on facebook all day.
Anyway what my point is is I feel I should tell her she's rude but she made the last 2 weeks of my pregnancy hell.All day she would send me abuse and I even threatened to report her to the police(I didn't).
People at my old job warned me of her and I never listened.
It makes me feel sick as we live so close and therefor go to the same shops and when I fell out with her in the summer she would shout abuse in the street infront of her dc and mine and I just wanted to die.
She reported my hairdresser to the SS because she used her binoculars to see that she had let her dc sleep for 2 hours in a car seat rather than a cot.(After a long car journey).
That's the kind of person she is.Oh and I'm awful because my child doesn't wear Ralph Lauren clothes.
I must me crazy to let her in my life and I think I must be unreasonable for doing so.

Delete her number, delete her from your fb page and if she is abusive again report her to the police for harrassment.

You dont need this person in your life, friendship is a two way thing and you must give as much as you take. What does she give you? Apart from misery? If you are happier not being around her, then no you shouldnt be friends with her

Delete! Delete! Delete!

Plumm · 11/12/2010 12:48

Get rid. I'd rather have no friends than a 'friend' like this.

If there IS a volcanic eruption, tbh it utterly validates why you are doing this.

The more she kicks off, the more we can all have a good laugh at her you can tell yourself you have done the right thing.

Gear your OH up to remind you why you have done this, get him to deal with any weird behaviour.

LittleMissHoHoHoFit · 11/12/2010 14:02

you could always post on here if it goes silly..

Thankyou everyone for your messagesSmile

She hasn't said anything yet but I did block her very late last night.I really hope she doesn't bother getting in touch with me unlike last time when she threatened me etc.
I have never met anyone like her and hope I never do again!!Thnks again.

if she threatens you, get OH to deal with her, and call the police.

headinhands · 11/12/2010 15:22

I second what Littlemiss says, any theatrics on her part will just validate your feelings and actions.

onmyfeet · 12/12/2010 10:56

What does she threaten to do to you? Has she assaulted anyone in the past?

MsNameChange · 12/12/2010 19:23

Since I deleted her she has sent me lots of messges.The first message saying 'Oh just relised I forgot to come for lunch..minutes pass me by and to be fair you should have text me to remind me really shouldn't you?'
Then last night before midnight 'Oi why have you deleted me from facebook???'
This morning 3 missed calls..then 2 more messages..
Anyway thanks again for the helpful messages.My OH saw this thread and now says please look back to the mn thread when dealing with her!Smile

Exterminate is Daleks. Actually in this situation I would find both would work Wink

Sounds good so far! But how rude is she, to acknowledge standing your lunch up and not even apologizing? Glad your OH is there for you and gives good advise.

I used to have a friend like this. My life is MUCH more pleasant now she is not in it anymore.
