[QUOTE="confuzzled, post: 370785, member: 8831"] i have the same, long distance BFF for 35 years whom i speak to regularly and see once or twice a year. but otherwise? nope. cant be bothered, dont have the energy, sick of being scr*wed over or used by some "friend", have never met someone who understands that NO i just cant go for coffee at 5 in the afternoon, and i entertain myself just fine. but ita with above...i'm now slowly convinced that attitude massively contributed to difficult child 2's issues and i regret it. i have no real support system and absolutely no "natural respite" for either of my kids. and difficult child 2 has missed out on a boatload of opportunites since i'm not one of "THE moms" and i never know what's going on in my area. maybe i'm just a lousy judge of character, but the second someone "wants" something from me, i'm [I]out[/I]. i'm too old and tired for the social games that need to be played!
