An acquaintance of mine recently split up with her husband. I know her through a dance group that our dds attend. Myself and three of other mums usually chat over a coffee whilst waiting.
It was quite a messy separation as her dh left suddenly without warning and is now in a relationship with a woman half his age .She was upset and traumatised for months.
Most of the mothers got a bit fed up with her being upset and distanced themselves from her.
I spent a lot of time listening to her and met her for coffee several times. I just listened and gave her some contact numbers for solicitors etc.
I didnt criticise her ex or get involved with vrry personal stuff as didnt want her to feel embarrassed etc. Thankfully she's now starting to feel better.
She put a post on facebook etc saying how much she wanted to meet all the dance mums for coffee and included everyone except me.
Although were not close friends, I feel a bit hurt that the people who werent interested in her when she was feeling low are the ones who are all meeting up for coffee.
On the other hand, the person who replied to her texts/phone calls gets excluded.
