frustrated with friends....

Jo, Please just concentrate on yourself.  If you look after number ONE, then you will be better equipped to see things for what they are.  I have a "friend" (met her about 23 years ago when she became my daughter's home mum for after school care)  We used to party fairly hard when we were both single mums and I have helped her through some tough times.  She actually introduced me to my now husband.  Well I left her a message the other day as I needed to inform her of something.  I haven't heard from her since January this year - have had radiation therapy, chemo etc etc.  Did not even get a phone call from her to see how I was. (She is obsessed with earning as much money as possible at whatever cost)  Anyway tonight she returned my call (forgot what it was I needed to tell her).  She never asked how I was and when I told her I don't have to wear hats anymore as my hair is starting to now grow back - she said "Oh did you lose your hair?"  I always knew we were "miles apart" and now I am running far and fast.  Remember YOU are Number ONE.  Good luck with the radiation therapy - cold washers and moisturiser helped me to minimise burns.
