My best friend has just had a miscarriage. She was 43 and in the past has been a heavy drinker (not touched a drop while pregnant though) so was quite pragmatic and aware the outcome might not be good. When she miscarried a couple of days ago she seemed to be coping fine but today has been the inevitable blow out. She's a had a few drinks with a friend and is now very weepy. Her fiancé, rather than comforting her, has gone ballistic at her for drinking.
To top it off, another of her friends of a similar age is pregnant. Her partner is a disgusting, unfaithful, physically violent, financial leech. (I've posted about him on here - brought a tramp home one night to carry on drinking into the small hours) He has just popped round her house to show her designs for the baby's bedroom. Brilliant.
My poor friend has rung me in tears. She's got nobody to talk to, no support and I feel so bloody cross. She's one of those people who does EVERYTHING for everyone - fucks sake, she was trying to get a dinner in the oven while on the phone crying to me. I have no money and cannot afford to make the trip home. Her fiancé won't "let" her come up for a visit with me because he doesn't like me. (He read her messages, including ones where I was telling her she didn't need to put up with his XYZ.)
Sorry for the rant. It's just SO unfair.
