Disappearing friend has made contact

What would you do?

One of my best friends had basically dropped off the face of the planet since I had my son, and now today after 6 months has got in contact apologising for not being In touch. (I had been in touch with her since but never got anything back)

We've know each other since school, and been friends for nearly 20 years, then the last I heard from her was my baby shower, nothing when he was born or any time inbetween. (Even though her mum brought us a card round from her parents when he was born!)

I wasn't asking for much, just a text or something but I basically gave up on her, I wondered if maybe babies were an issue for her, perhaps something that she wanted but wasn't happening so she was struggling?

We had talked in the past about her wanting kids relatively soon but they weren't ready yet.

So what do I do? Say nothing? Or go back and act like it's fine? Or do I call her out on it?

In he messages she apologises for being "a shitty friend" and says there's no excuse?

I'm really not sure where I stand. I'd kind of just written her off, and was beyond expecting her to be in touch.

That seems positive, and it sounds as if you’re doing the right thing by giving her some space whilst showing that you still value the friendship.

That all sounds good. 😊
