Yup. It’s okay for me. She lost her dad and was going through a lot. I wish her and her son the best. It’s not worth losing myself or trying to figure out what I did wrong when she’ll never tell me. People gotta blame the other person instead of looking at themselves and figuring out what did I do wrong in the situation.
I lost my closest friend of 10 years last year, 3 months after having my first baby. It was shockingly easier than I thought it would be, with not having her around anymore. She had depression and severe anxiety and I was always, always there for her, even when pregnant, I made sure I was taking care of her but then she got a new boyfriend just before my LO was born and that was it, in my darkest and hardest times, she left me for a man ...
Literally all of them. The most recent being my roommate, decided she didn’t want to room with me anymore after I found out I was pregnant and went to go sign a new lease without me. And not having the money to pay her half of the rent but held on to my portion and got a new place lol
So relatable ! Cut it off with my best friend of 10 years plus ! I love her and her children and always will they will have a special place in my heart but the choices she has made and continues to make in her life is not my problem anymore. I told her I’ll always be here if say god forbid she’s about to lose her kids I’ll take them in a heart beat but that’s it. I lost a lot helping her for her to go back to making the same d**** choices that put her in all the messes she was in in the first place
I can relate to im here if you need to chat x
@Staci we didn’t necessarily grow apart she just copied everything apart of my life down to my style which is goth and made false promises to come see me and my kids but instead would go to concerts and spooky adventures.

Few years ago. We just stopped talking. But that's was around thr time she got a new "real" bf who's way younger then her. I still have her on my old Facebook that I use now. We don't talk on it. But once she had a bf she deleted me off if everything

Yup. It’s been quite a while now but I “broke up” with my long time bestie of over 10 years. I come from a very dysfunctional family. I’m really good at people pleasing and putting others needs ahead of my own (it was a matter of safety for me growing up). Unfortunately, this led me to being drawn towards friends who were familiar (aka: toxic). It took me having a baby and getting VERY VERY sick (mentally and physically) to realize just how selfish of a “friend” she was. She had a second kid and I knew I had to end things before I became attached to him like I was starting to her with her first. I cut the friendship off with little explanation why (she didn’t deserve it imo) but she didn’t really care 🤷♀️ She wished me well and I said “bye Felicia”. It’s been about three years now and I have no regrets. I’ve started to really pay attention to my energy and how I feel after being around people. As a result, I’ve curated a very small group of friends who make me feel good.
I’ve definitely noticed the friends drop since becoming pregnant. Which truly sucks and it’s hard to not let it bug you with the crazy hormones. But it’s also is a lot easier than I thought it would be. People’s true colors come out.
@Meghan i totally get it! luckily my so called bestie wasn’t able to have kids so thankfully no kids for me to be attached to. what sucked is 100% of our friendship was her always one upping me or telling me she was gonna visit me and my kids but instead go to concerts and cool goth / spooky adventures. oh and she copied me being goth because i told i’ve been a mix of goth / emo since HS but she refused to call me goth because i’m more emo to her. i couldn’t deal with her toxic shit anymore
Yup! And I'm okay and moving onward and upward. Sometimes people are in your life for a season. & Sometimes, people naturally grow apart. And that's okay.
