To be feeling awkard

Hi,

I much happier in my life that I no longer chat to a friend that knew from childhood. (Let me call her Sarah).We were very close like sister. A situation happened and caused her to be horrible to the point I tried to be there for her as no longer live nearby. By calling, texting but got ignored. I feel better not to be hearing her situation. Although it sad what happened just no reason be like this towards me.

Through this situation I got closer to one Sarah's friend.( I call her Gina)
Then this was when I realized Sarah was starting to distance herself. Also Sarah and Gina fell out too.

Cut long story short is Sarah has another friend let (me call her Carly). I met Carly through Gina but had heard of Carly a lot from Sarah too but we never until now.

I now am in situation where I chat to Carly who speaks to Sarah and tell me about issues she has with her. Also Gina says stuff too.
But then I think how do you think feel.

Saying I don't mind listening but I get angry how I am hearing of Sarah acting innocent and treating this ladies like this.

One day I did have a go Sarah on the phone totally went mad. Then we text and she said I was being used. Think when it came to Gina.
Then Sarah sister made a comment that I might have only stopped talking to her because of Gina. Which that was not the case.
We all got our own issues with Sarah.

Do I just listen to these two? I said something to Gina I am not wasting my time on Sarah. Carly just about talks to her but she is knows now I met Carly through Gina.

I feel like I need to say something to Sarah family when I see them to make it clear that it's not Gina or anybody why we don't talk. Sarah does not text and she does not care about me at all. So why should I now. I am happy I don't see her though. That is funny thing. We as friends were never open and honest me and Sarah. Until situation happened. I felt I was used in this.

So much has happened.

Whoo hoo. I win a prize!

Seriously though op, no good can come from talking to her,family. All you're going to do is blame Sarah and absolve the others.

Either try to make it up with Sarah or let it go.

Sweetpea55 · 24/02/2018 21:42

You need to learn to write properly.

mpeters82 · 24/02/2018 21:44

To be honest I have done nothing wrong.
I think she made herself clear@ Bluntness.

I have let her go myself because I am so done. But I am going to hear stuff.

I suppose just leave it be now.

Enjoy evening ladies

I think I've got it.

I'd just try to stay out of sarahs way and encourage your children into other friendships.

MumofBean · 24/02/2018 21:47

I am so confused. How can you be bothered with the drama? 😆

tafftum · 24/02/2018 21:54

It's not Gina or Carly fault think they get upset at situation.

I just got to stop myself from getting mad.

I think I watched Sarah's kids grow up and this it's hard not seeing them.

Honestly the whole situation .
I do hope though it better for Sarah.

Wow, are you really a grown up? STOP talking to Sarah. Stop talking to Sarah's family. Stop talking about Sarah with your other friends.

Literally no-one gives a fuck why Sarah's sister thinks you stopped taking to her. Jesus Christ.

MrTrebus · 24/02/2018 22:04

This thread is fucking brilliant. LOL LOL

DottyS · 24/02/2018 22:04

Is this a wind up or has someone had to much to drink.

As PP have said that assuming you are not teenagers perhaps it is time you acted your ages (and I stopped reading half way through because it made no sense what so ever)

mpeters82 · 24/02/2018 22:04

Rj thanks.

Certain things I can't say and if I was to write it all you a would be like now I see what she means.

I just leave Sarah and just listen to the other two if they mention her. Give advice.

Sorry op but like the others you lost me at Carly.

starlightafar · 24/02/2018 22:09

Sarah and Carla and Gina are all coronation street characters and are too similar sounding to draw any inferences from your story whatsoever. Hope it's all ok tho (-:

mpeters82 · 24/02/2018 22:13

I want serious advice but you cannot give it on here.

You sound like teenagers on here.

I tried to explain something which is a lot to type.

What part can you not get I no longer talk to Sarah. Her f up situation caused her to push her close friends away. To the point we got fed up me and Gina said we done.
Carly speaks to her so yes I hear how she we not be nasty. But think you try and try with some people in life and they just treat you in such a way. You walk away.
When you fall out with a friend or family do you keep in contact so kids can see each other?
Suppose this what is sad about it.

Estellanpip · 24/02/2018 22:15

It's sad about Sarah but draw a line under it and move on. You can still be friends with the other two even though they are/used to be Sarah's friends. It doesn't matter what people think or say regarding your fall out. But no, don't involve her family. You're an adult, you can choose your friends. The same for the others.

DottyS · 24/02/2018 22:18

Well, if you want serious advice try writing coherently in English. Always a good start if you want to be taken seriously.

I am completely sober, and drinking hot chocolate, and I can't understand the OP.

JaneEyre70 · 24/02/2018 22:24

How old are all of your children OP (meaning yours, Sarahs, Ginas and Carlys)? If they are young adults, then I'd encourage them to talk to whoever and don't get involved with any adult bickering. If they are younger, then encourage them to make other friends. Move schools if needs be.
It's very hard to maintain friendships amongst kids when their mothers don't get on. So I'd shrug my shoulders, and move on. And don't talk to Sarah, Sarah's family or about Sarah to anyone. Ever.

LuluJakey1 · 24/02/2018 22:26

I haven't got a clue what this is about and have read it 3 times. DH has read it in a 'gangsta' vouce to see if it sounded like something that way but I think it's teenspeak.

Either your mum should go ad have it out with your ex-friends mum or you should tell your Head of Year on Monday morning. Meanwhile stay off Whats App.

mpeters82 · 24/02/2018 22:27

Seriously I think some of you need to grow the up.

Thanks Estellanpip you are right. I am not getting the family involved.

Thanks Estellanpip.

Someone who got it.
