Some of my best friendships today are with people I have struggled and fought with, and at times we have stopped talking to each other for a while. But I dont think anybody said they dont want to be friends any more. It was kind of understood that the separation was temporary and to sort out things. <BR/><BR/>Well, I guess to be in relationship is sometiems painful and if you are not prepared for that, you will feel tempted to walk out every time the going gets rough.<BR/><BR/>I guess all your daughter can do is to wait and see. Maybe you are right and this woman was never a friend. Or maybe she is going through problems and cant quite see what she is doing. Anyway I can guess what your daughter feels like and I hope it's all okay soon for her.umahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04033640808292108346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17395716.post-1145999497642456252006-04-25T23:11:00.000+02:002006-04-25T23:11:00.000+02:00Because in a throw away culture, you never know wh...<I>Because in a throw away culture, you never know who will want to throw you out next, because you have ceased to contribute anything to their lives.</I><BR/><BR/>Ironic that you should write this post just now because last night my daughter called me in tears saying that a very good friend of her's said she didn't want to be friends anymore because my daughter didn't "fit her ideology of life" ...whatever that means! My daughter is very accepting of people and would never hurt anyone intentionally and asked this girl what she did to offend her, and this girl could not give a clear answer...and then just callously said that she wasn't getting anything out of the friendship anymore.<BR/><BR/>I told my daughter then that girl was not a friend to begin with...or she is having some kind of emotional problems in her life.Stardusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10560872454564355114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17395716.post-1145943650526245602006-04-25T07:40:00.000+02:002006-04-25T07:40:00.000+02:00I just loved the article.
