  When "friends" let you down...

  have you ever been in a position where you really needed your friends - ie a relationship break down, or some other event and expected your friends to rally and support you.

  only to find that those friends are nowhere to be seen or heard and when you tentatively enquire how they are in the hope for some kind response you get - "oh well you'll get over it.

  " or words to that effect and by email.. i have as you can guess a reason and recent experience of my own that i'll share later, but i wondered how do you handle that?

  You have to ask yourself what is a true friend. And when your friends let you down are they worth keeping? How good of a friend were they anyway?

  I have several examples of crapy friends.

  First would be of witness friends after my mom died. No one talked to me of course and I had to grieve alone. I'd call them crapy friends.

  Second is friends that owe me money and never paying up. Some ppl just feel entitled. Selfish.

  But what can you forgive or put up with? I find myself staying friends w/lot's of ppl that owe me money although it annoys me.

  We are all human and make many many mistakes. I'm not perfect and I know I haven't always been a great friend. So if I want forgiveness and expect it, I should forgive those who let me down. Right?

  Every situation is different. It's ultimately about what you can deal with and how much disappointment you can stand.
