AIBU here? Friends rants.

[PowerInvestedIn]

For context, im currently in hospital with my 6mo DD, who has a suspected case of severe flu. In the last 44 hours her temperature won't go below 40, she's not drank more than 500ml of water or milk, hasn't slept at all and is more crying than she is silent. I'm obviously very worried and running on empty right now.

My friend has messaged a few times and is annoyed that my replies aren't fast and I'm apparently not responding/listening to her correctly. I admit my responses are pretty brief but she's clearly in a depressive state and all she is sending are lengthy woeful rants. I have told her that I'm preoccupied with DD right now but this evening she has turned nasty and said some quite hurtful things. For example, she said I'm a disgusting shameful person who said I should be at home bathing DD and giving her fruit not taking up hospital space and poisoning her with medicine. How I'm a disgrace of a mother and if DD dies I will only have myself to blame, as it will "teach me a lesson".

Stupidly i responded but i think its time to end the friendship. I don't really know why I'm posting tbh, a rant, a handhold. Sorry 😔

As above I'd tell her to fuck off and block. If this was out of character I'd tell a friend or family member as she sounds seriously deranged

I don’t think I’ve ever audibly gasped when reading an OP before but I did when I read she told your daughter should be home having fruit!!!! Ffs she’s the fruitcase… block and never unblock that is unforgivable and don’t waste any time wondering why she is the way she is… she’s just a bitch

What a horrible bitch. She should be supporting you. You have done the right thing blocking her. Hope your daughter is ok.

Your poor DD. Your erm ‘friend’ should be supporting you, asking you if you need anything, bringing you food, biscuits, clothes. Just being a friend.
You are better off without her, she’s sounds horrid.

I hope your baby is much better today OP x

Bloody hell you are well rid!

She's obviously got serious issues but she needs to deal with them herself.

Well done for breaking free!

Block and ghost.

You know you should

Hope your DC is picking up x

I'd send your "friend" one last message, as rude as you can be, then block her. ON the phone and in life.

Sorry I lol’d at “she’s the fruitcase”

HRTFT but if this thread has even an ounce of veracity, I hope you've told her to fuck off. I don't care what's wrong with her she needs to go elsewhere for support. Now is not the time.

Block her. Completely end the friendship. This is not normal behaviour.

Tell her to fuck off! I am a complete pushover but that would be past my limit. Block and gore her. This would be the end of the friendship for me

I hope your daughter is better

Wow it actually sounds as though she might be jealous of your baby! Block and delete from your life and hopefully once she's calmed down she'll realise what an awful thing she has done. That's really not normal!

What on earth have I just read? Your "friend" is a vile vile individual. How dare she say stuff like this? Block her forever. I hope your DD is better soon op

Thank you all again for your advice and your HH☺️

Just a little update, friend remains blocked but somehow a voicemail still came through yesterday from her saying i was childish and it's no wonder DD's dad didn't want us🙄 I just ignored it and am going to look into changing my number once things are resolved here.

We are now home from hospital as they needed the beds. DD is slightly improving but still isn't taking in much fluid so I'm worried we may be back at some point due to dehydration :( On top of that I also seem to have caught it as i started vomiting not long after I posted here. So it's a pretty rough household here at the moment without false friends adding to the stress.

Absolutely block and have nothing to do with this attention seeking horrible individual.
Atrocious behaviour!
Hope you and baby are both doing better.

I am so sorry to hear your daughter is sick. You 💯 did the right thing bringing her to hospital. Focus on your daughter and be kind to yourself.

The friendship is 💯 over. Who speaks to their "friend or anyone like that when her child is in hospital,

She's not a friend. Block.

Best wishes to you and your DD.

I would just delete anything she sends via voicemail, don't inconvenience yourself by changing number . She's the childish one , imagine trying to compete with a very sick child for your attention
