I have a friend who I met when our kids were babies. We hit it off in a way I've never experienced, we seemed to have everything in common and spent loads of time together. As the kids grew older we've grown apart but always made time to see each other together, as couples and as families. She knows my kids better than anyone.
Recently though I just feel like she's lost interest. I've been through a hard time losing both my parents in recent years, struggling with menopause and my sister estranging herself from me. I may not be the bubbly bundle of fun I might have been... She attended both my parents funerals when no other friends came and I thought she was there for me but now I wonder if I got the wrong impression.
She has distanced herself. Is nice as pie but tells me she is busy with work and exams and tells me she can't see me until given dates. Then I see her all over SM at gigs and parties. I can take a hint, but I feel so hurt. Do I just sidle off or do I confront her? I have plenty of other friends, a supportive husband and lovely kids, but I really miss her... With my sister making out I'm the worst person alive I'm really concerned that there is something wrong with me.
