[quote=Anonymous]As someone struggling with primary IF and many unsuccessful attempts at ART, I first want to thank you on behalf of your friend for being so considerate and compassionate. You don't say what her mood was during the visit (anxious, unhopeful), but I'm guessing that you shouldn't take her words too seriously. It probably has nothing to do with you and her opinion of your parenting and everything to do with where she is right now. If I didn't know that sometimes the pain of TTC can be unbearable and if I could honestly say that never in my life have I lashed out at someone I cared for unfairly when I was in pain, I would say you're friend was way out of line (well, she probably is regardless). But it sounds like you're willing to excuse her behavior due to the circumstances, and I think that's fair. Honestly, if it were me, I would probably wait a few days to forget about the situation and if you really have been friends for years it might be a forget it happened kind of thing. If, however, you are really hurt (and you have a right to be), then I would wait a few days to cool off and bring it up with her in a way that acknowledges taht you totally understand she's going through a hard time. And also using all those feeling words where you make it clear that it's not a judgment about her or her attitude, just how you feel after the conversation that you had.[/quote]
