[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would try to find some truth to tell her. I had a friend sort of ghost me and I never knew why, so I invented all kinds of reasons that made me feel awful about myself (and her, honestly). It was really hard. I wish she’d tried to give me some version of Why rather than nothing at all. [/quote]

Op here. What is the gentlest, kindest way to do that?

I think I do feel some resentment/hurt/judgement/defensiveness and am worried there’s no way to talk about this with her without those emotions coming through, and creating bad feelings.

“I feel like my situation w my kids is not super relatable to a lot of people and I’ve felt like I haven’t gotten the listening or support I’ve needed from you. I get it, I don’t really expect you to be able to relate. But I’m needing to take more time for myself, including building relationships for support here. I still want to be friends but I think I need to slow it down. Daily texting has been a fun distraction but I need to face my life and put time in more purposefully to my kids and pursuing my own interests. I’m also trying to leave ny phone in my purse more so I can be more present so I’m not responding to texts as often. Sorry I didn’t tell you. I’m trying different things to see what feels right. ”[/quote]
