I am a newly single mum, shouldering on all responsibilities - separated from a useless husband whose input involves taking his son out for an hour everyday and neglecting his teen daughters.
Anyway, since splitting up, ive had a really hard time emotionally and mentally. I have expressed this with my closest friends and told them i could really do with having catch ups, rather than communicate via social media. I used to see them once every 3 weeks, which was good enough for me. But now its once evwry 3 months!
For reference in compaison to me, they are well off, live with their parents (culture thing), are single, have no kids. One has a part time job, the other is umemployed. We all live within a 15min radius.
My attempts to meet up are usually met with i am only free in 6 weeks time. As a full time, working mum, prepared to take my children along on our meet up, i can not for the life of me understand how they cant give an evening or afternoon when they have no responsibilities. However, they are quite happy ro share about how they went elsewhere with others.
I have really needed them and feel so let down. I have not even received a txr or call as a check-in.
In the last 2 years, they have started this new thing - if 1 of 3 of us cannot meet up for whatever reason, the whole meet up gets cancelled! Im usually the eager one to meet, so end up being cancelled on and then the 'available in 6 weeks' begins again.
I mean come on? I spoke to my sister this week and she said she doesnt know why i bother.
Am i being unreasonable - would u check up on ur newly separated friend? Especially after they expressed difficulty coping?
