My closest friend that abandoned me years ago to be with a guy I knew was dodgy has contacted me saying he disowned her when she fell pregnant! I knew it all along but didn't have the heart to tell her! Where to from here? I've become a social retard and don't have a clue how to respond!

"But the greatest of these is love"

Isn't the answer obvious? She needs you now more than she did before. And it has taken her a lot of courage to speak to you knowing that there is a good chance of being rejected. I would do the opposite, show her love, grace and forgiveness. :-)

I have! I am alone and have made grave mistakes! Can't expect or return any less!

Miss VF

Rule # 1 - Live for Yourself - nobody cares when you have shit

The word "abandoned" is prominent in your post, if you want to be Florence Nightingale, refer rule # 1 above.

Look after number one, do not let people lean on you

My life is predicted by people I love! I have never been number one to me, so it's a foreign concept to me!

Was very upset... PM if you wanna chat!!

Miss V -- you first need to decide how YOU feel about her. Life is hard and you can't save them all.

If you decide you have no hard feelings towards her, then I suggest you just pick up where you left off as friends all those years ago.

I just beseech you to be careful as not to be used. She must be sincere and honest. I believe you have the wisdom and life experience to tell if she is.

@Cass that's awful

My friend sprayed doom in her mouth after her boyfriend held up a bank with a gun made from China...I tried to warn her but she went mad and and became a health freak....now she's all into smoothie's....

I feel you ....terrible.

Miss VF

Sorry for my cold outlook, you said that "your life is predicted by the people that you love", love is a two way thing, do you get the same support when you have a crisis ?

Your life is number 1 to you, who else is going to meet your bills etc, you work a very tough job to survive and other peoples inability to organise their lives should be their problem.

Compassion is human nature, but your are not the solution to their problems.
