I know that we all go through different experiences. But I CANNOT get my head around how cruel and insensitive people are to those who have cancer. I'm not saying that everyone is cruel, BUT SOMETIMES, the people who you thought would be there to support and comfort are so bloody nasty.

My daughter has lost so many of her 'so called friends'. AND I'M sick of the excuses that they can't cope....DO THEY THINK SHE CAN?? She even received atext the other day saaying that they just wanted to get on with their lives....WELL I'M GLAD THEY GET THAT OPTION, as her life is going to be cut short!!!!!!!!

Two other so called friends came up to my other daughter and said they sorry they not been there for my daughter but could they come to her funeral!!!!

We've been in this nightmare for a year and 20 days...and it continues. I just don't feel like I can cope at the moment...I just want our normal life back...God I sound like Why us, Why us!!! No, I just want my daughter to be well..I want it to be me not her.

Lets hope they never find themselves in the same situation, the time when you need all the support that you can get and your daughters so called friends say and do that, disgusting. I can't begin to know how you feel, all parents would rather have this than their children,I can't make you feel less pain than you do, but obviously you are a great mum wanting to make things right again, it isn't your fault this as happend, why it happens,I don't know love.....Take care, both of you....love Carol xx

Oh Peabs, how horrible. I have just read your Profile and see that your poor daughter has really gone through the mill for the past year. Whilst it is no excuse for the behavior of her 'so-called' friends, my experience of teenagers (having them myself and teaching them) is that they are, on the whole, self-absorbed creatures who have yet to develop/learn compassion. They may not understand how nasty they are being and could do with being handed a reality check. If you don't care what they think of you, why not tell them?

Wishing you strength.

Hi Peabs- you are doing so well. The people you describe are far lesser beings than your daughter. Your daughter is ' her Mothers daughter '. Thats why she is the lovely, strong, caring girl she is. Sending you some strength and a hug. x
