[quote=Anonymous]My close friend ghosted me after I had been there for her through her leaving her abusive BPD husband and various very ugly situations with him as their divorce case progressed. She lived across the street until she moved out, and our 4 kids were very close. We took the kids on trips and did stuff together as families all the time. I did notice an increasing pattern where she would glom onto other people and be all excited about her new friends, and then get disgusted with them over some small slight and move on. She also occasionally would make plans with me and my kids, then something better would come along and she would blow us off. I let it go because I knew things were hard for her. A couple of years after she left him, her child was really rude and obnoxious to us (both my DS and me) in response to a birthday party invitation, and when I politely said I didn't appreciate his attitude in response to a gesture of kindness, she ghosted me. It's become clear since then that she will not apologize for any wrongdoing and instead breaks from anyone who either is critical or is no longer useful, but it was still incredibly hurtful that she would throw away 10 years of friendship because I said her son was being rude, after all the unfailing support and love and logistical help I provided during a couple of very turbulent years. One of her kids (not the rude one) and one of mine are still close but now she talks to my husband all the time to arrange playdates and not me. She moved away from our SD but the crazy XH still lives across the street so she finds us useful as a potential refuge when the kids are with emotionally abusive dad. [/quote]
