[quote=Anonymous]I’m sorry, OP. What a tough situation. If it helps at all, remember there’s always a chance that your friend is dealing with something right now too and doesn’t want to burden you with the knowledge. The first years of my DC’s life were incredibly difficult, for a few reasons but mostly thanks to postpartum depression so bad that it turned into postpartum psychosis and I hospitalized myself. I was sensitive about it for the obvious reasons and never told anyone. A friend suffered a tragic loss during that time, and I was the person who disappeared on her. I’m not usually prone to psychological coping mechanisms, but in this case my mind just blanked out the whole situation because emotionally I couldn’t deal with even thinking about her grief, much less reaching out. When I “came to” a year or two later, I was horrified with myself.[/quote]
