I stopped calling her as I found her a bit of a nightmare. She latched onto me at school and used to invite herself round. I was polite and met her a few times at the playground but every time we met, she spent the entire time talking about herself and her children ran riot, hurting mine and being total nightmares.
I decided, for my children's sake and because I didn't really feel our friendship was mutual, to cool it off a bit. Now I hear (through mutual friends) that she has been completely slagging me off - telling everyone that I might as well fall off the face of the earth, how unkind I am not to return her calls (she has left countless messages at home).
Problem is that she doesn't realise that I've had a pretty hard time of it over the last few months and tbh, didn't really fancy meeting up with someone who seemed to care not one iota for how I was feeling. Dh has now made me feel bad saying I should call her up and explain but most of me just thinks, why should I bother. Am I wrong?
