[quote=Anonymous]It sounds like your friend is actively in the middle of a crisis, which, in my experience, takes many years to work through. So it’s no surprise that this crisis is dominating your friend’s thoughts, actions, and conversations. It’s normal to turn to close friends in these situations, especially if she doesn’t have a therapist or other professional support.

That said, it’s totally reasonable to tell your friend that you feel like things have become one-sided and you need her to ask about what’s going on in your life too. If this is one of your best friends who has been in your life for years, you don’t just throw that away because your friend is going through a crisis. You need to be a grown adult and communicate your needs.

I agree with PP that you are the one who has to proactively open up about your own issues. Even if your friend asks you how you and your kids are doing, if all you do is say fine or only share the highlights, you’ll still feel alienated. [/quote]
