To not bother with friends baby

We've been friends for 10 years.

Shes entirely self obsessed to the point that she doesnt have any other friends.

This was made so much worse during her pregnancy when she literally stopped giving a shit about anything other than her pregnancy. I was going through a really difficult time but her pregnancy was all we talked about. Any mention of my issues and suddenly we were back on her pregnancy.

She gave birth last month and i havent given her a present or been to see her or her daughter.

She lives a 4 hour train ride away.

I feel terrible because im her only friend but equally the train ticket would be really expensive and shes shown zero interest in my life or how a fairly complex sotuation i was in was or wasnt resolved.

I feel like now she has a baby her self centredness will only get worse but i just feel guilty

I think in this situation I'd rather feel like the better person and send a card / gift then leave it in her court.

Oh I had a friend like that. You'd think she was the only women on the planet to have bred.
It gets a bit monotonous in the end.
However its not the child's fault

I'd send a card and be done with it. If she wants to get in touch she knows where to find you!
