[quote=Anonymous]One of my closest friends has been TTC for several years. She is on her last round of IVF before they consider adoption. She visited today, and my DD, who is 19 mo, kept pointing to her and calling her "mommy". She does this to every woman she sees, but of course it was difficult for my friend to hear. I could see the pain on her face. Unfortunately, halfway through the visit, she got angry, demanded that I make DD stop calling her that (I had already been trying, w/o success). She said some cutting things about how I should be able to control my DD better, and left. I felt awful-I know she is in a bad place, and it must really been hurtful for her to hear that. At the same time, it really hurt MY feelings that one of my oldest friends would make something like that so personal and use it to attack my patenting. Now I'm left wondering if she really thinks I'm a bad parent and this just allowed her to vent, or what. I know it's not all about me, and my heart truly bleeds for her. I'd like to reach out to patch things up, but am not sure if I should any time soon. And part of me feels that she should be the one to approach me, but I realize that may not happen. I really care about this woman, and have been good friends with her for years. I don't want to lose the friendship over this...any advice would be welcome! Thanks.[/quote]
