@youngdogmum - in time friends come and go!
Some friends are good times only, they don't have the emotional capacity to cope with their own ups and downs, let alone someone else's
The ones you least expect are sometimes the ones that provide support, emotionally and or practically
My dear friend of 40 years, that I mentioned earlier, was always centre of attention and down most of the time and it was me that would lift her, because I wanted to see her in a better place, however, there was no return favour when I needed it, hence she is part of a season that is over
Take care
