my dad is dying and my best friend won't speak

Less than one minute read time.

the only time i really need support from my best friend she stops calling.  i don't get it... she can be there for her neighbour when her husband is dying of cancer but when it's my dad the conversation gets changed every time i mention him and now she won't even call.

we can't see each other as often as we would like as she's in ayrshire and i'm in aberdeenshire but surely she could pick up the phone????

am i being selfish or is she being a bad friend??

clearly i'm asking too much from her to be there for me............ this sucks

    Thanks for your reply.  You are not losing your mind - well no more than the rest of us!!

    I didn't let my friend off lightly when she phoned, I made sure she realised how I felt and she did apologise and said that she will come to see me during half term (she better, or that's it!)

    Thanks again for your reply, let me how it goes when you speak to your friend.

    Take care

    Call in anytime Izzy, we are all your friends here.But dont give up on your friend, like everyone said ,she might not know what to say that's right, and because its your Dad she may be finding his illness hard to handle. Give her a call, it will give you both the chance to air your feelings.

     With Love Lucy Lee. xxx
