I am well into my 70s but still drive.
Friend D is 1 year older and no longer drives. I have offered help when needed. Thursday I got a call - need to go A&E and two taxi firms cant - school run. Caring daughter in Scotland tho she has other children and lots of adult grandchildren.
Sat in A&E friend in great pain and plainly very ill. 3 hours later called her sister "Please can you relieve me 3 hours enough. Sister snaps "no" and closes call.
I call non driving daughter who ignores.
30 mins later sister comes into waiting room - friend now somewhere in totally rammed treatment area.
I got the most terrible screaming reproach in the MIDDLE of A&E waiting room for daring to disturb sister who had by the way promised "Anytime day or night when you need me" to D.
Now I have no knowledge of how D is and no one has messaged me with update etc.
Friend has been very odd last week on 2 occasions when we were meeting up. I suspect she is very ill and also not up to managing her own life anymore.
AIBU to ignore the whole lot of them and how can I help this heading into the sunset friend?
