So... Okay, I'm not sure what to do at this point.
Erin is pregnant and such. We were BFF's during school and then I moved away and while we drifted, we still talk to each other occasionally - but we're definitely not as close as we used to be.
Is it completely out of line for me to be super pissed that I wasn't invited to her baby shower? Or told at all that her brother was getting married? She told me about the baby shower and asked if I was going to come and I said I would be there if work let me. I never got an invitation, though - and I know she has my address and everything.
Either way, I'm definitely rethinking getting her anything or even going down there anymore to visit. I mean, she used to be my best friend, she bought me a personalized jade stamp from China. I always assumed that when it came to the big events in our lives, we would be there for each other.
Apparently not? When she found out she was pregnant, I didn't get a phone call. It wasn't until I asked her how she was doing she told me she was several months along.
And I kind of feel abandoned by my other IRL friends. I know moving away had a big part to play, but even through facebook, they don't really even talk to me anymore. I'm closer to the girls I worked with at the kennels than the girls I spent more than six years of my life with. I know things change when you get out of school and stuff, but I didn't think it would change between Erin and I.
But then, what did I really expect from her? She's always taken advantage of me. When she's been in trouble, I've been the one to bail her out. She's always picked her more popular friends over me even though I've been with her through thick and thin. I don't think I'm wrong to assume this had something to do with me moving away shortly after her sister died and I wasn't there for her for that. I feel guilty about it and at the same time, pissed.
We might not be best friends anymore, we've grown apart but... Come on, an invitation to your damn baby shower wouldn't kill you!
I think I'm going to give my sister the squishable I bought. Her baby is more important to me, anyway, I guess...
