Your friend is what is called “a fair weather friend” great as long as you could do for her everything was hunky-dory.
My friend lives next door to this lady and they have been friends for some time and it was just fine until my friend just couldn’t physically do the same things she had always done, just like what happened to your friendship.
She is just too kind to turn her back but tries to get others to pitch in.
So glad your son is helping you and it is hard to understand sometimes what another is going through.
And I know you would never wish your problems on him so he would understand.
That is so sad about that lady’s friend, and yours Rusty. I just don’t understand how people can take advantage of somebody else like that and not feel guilty. And they always seem to find the nicest people to use. I would think now would be a really nice time for her to do some pay back and help your friend.
I’m sorry your son isn’t more understanding. I think that comes with age, when they realize they’re not going to be perfectly healthy forever. And seems to be harder for males than females too.
It happened to me, too.
I just can’t go out and do that much anymore.
One “friend” has simply ghosted me, I haven’t heard
from her since I was in the hospital in 2017 for 8 days.
The other ended our 20 year friendship over the INTERNET,
instead of talking to me to my face.
I really don’t socialize after that.
It hurts too much.
To hell with that!
