[quote=Anonymous]OP it sounds like you are making quite a few assumptions about your friends. Quite frankly, out of my group of friends ALL of us have a marriage on the rocks, struggling with depression, a heavy work load and small children. Never in a million years would I expect one of my friends to call me up and say "Hey can I take your kids for a day?" They have their OWN kids to deal with!

Seriously, unless you are going through Chemo treatments or something serious like that, I think you are asking a lot. You are assuming they know how tough things are, but I bet they have NO clue that you are struggling so much. If you need something you need to ask and stop waiting for it.

If you need girl time - call up one of your friends and tell her what you need, or send an email explaining that you are having a tough time and would appreciate some support. The fact that no one has invited you to dinner doesn't' mean they don't care about you. You sound a little bit self-absorbed and in your own world. Maybe they have a lot of crap going on too in their lives and it just hasn't crossed their mind.

We are all so busy in this life that most people are just oblivious unless told directly. The tone of your post is very passive aggressive to me. Calling them "crummy" to me sounds unfounded. I get that you are there for others, and maybe they have depended on you in the past. That is the ebb and flow of relationships, but instead of waiting for someone to step up, you really just need to ask for help. Otherwise sitting around fuming about your "crummy" friends is only going to make you more depressed.[/quote]
