Got rid of friend from when my kids were in high school

[Anonymous]

Just got rid of friend who was a parent of my child's high school friend. I am so relieved. We co chaired many high school functions. Her life went down the tubes after our kids graduated and went off to college. I never wanted to remain friends, but she thought we were best friends. After our kids graduated, her husband killed himself and the drama was full speed. Now my husband has been deployed and she has ignored me since, for the past 6 months. Goodbye nightmare!

Who got rid of whom? I'm glad I don't have "friends" like you.

OP, not sure why you've posted these comments. I'm sure there's more to the situation (not that we need to know all the details), but you're coming across as a very callous and unfeeling person, whether or not you ever considered yourselves to be friends.

Obviously a "forced friendship".

Op here. It was a forced friendship. I got my "friend" where she needed to be. She found a boyfriend after dating 3 guys a week. Feel bad for her daughter. But me and my kids and husband buried her husband. She moved on to another man. That is fine. But do you know what it is like to have done more than I can express and be ignored when I am an empty nester who's husband has been deployed to Afghanistan?
I think this is the wrong forum to vent.

Do YOU know what it is like to lose your husband to suicide????

You'd better check yourself.

Op. Ok. You win. I am a cold hearted bitch. I am a total ass whose children and husband have assisted in picking up the gruesome pieces while this babe is screwing everything in pants. I remain....happy to be done with it. When you're in your 50's, youve been around the corner a few times.

And what I'm most looking forward to about being in my 50's (starting next year) is that you no longer have to put up with people in your life that you really don't like. Or so I've heard!

What I'm looking forward to is being wise enough not to come off like an ass when I'm posting on the internet. OP, sorry, but you DO sound harsh and like a drama queen yourself. Get over it.

not the OP

But . . . However terrible suicide is, didn't she see the signs? I'm sure it wasn't paradise. Furthermore, some people can't handle needy friends. And those of you bashing OP probably haven't experienced friendships with emotional leeches. It's exhausting.

Definitely move on, you are not a cold person and you are going through your own thing right now.
