Re: Sad (and/or stupid) reasons you've let go of friendships

[(Anonymous)]

- A friend I'd had since I was 3. My mom died of cancer when I was 16. The first few years after she was diagnosed lots of friends visited in the hospital, including this friend's mom, and it became this social hub almost. Then my mom got sicker, she never left the hospital anymore, started looking like a cancer patient, feeling like one. She was in pain and the entire family was miserable. I know this is not something most 16 yr olds can get unless they've experienced it, but I figured she'd be smart and empathetic enough to understand. I told her that yeah, it was sad she died, but maybe it was for the best, because she was in pain and it was becoming unbearable for us as well. She took that to mean I wanted her to die. And told that to her mom who told it to my mom's other friend(s) until someone finally asked me about it. I just started crying. My older brother was furious, said my mom wasn't dead for more than a month and her supposed friends were already spreading rumors about her family. I've never talked to those people again.

- My aunt, though I can't completely cut her out of my life. She's my mom's younger sister and first she'd call my mom to catch up on, she'd then call my dad. I guess after he died she figured I was next? She never called my brother. She had never shown an interest in me before, never really chatting with me, so this was just to get up to speed on current events in the family. I'd even be fine with that except she made each phone call into a depressing guilt trip. She'd randomly call me to talk about how sad it was about my parents, for ages on end. She'd complain why I never called and if I said sth vague about forgetting or not finding the right time, she'd answer with 'until we're all dead and buried'. Which isn't ever cool let alone when you're 24 and you've just buried your last parent. So one time I got sick of it and told her I never called bc she always made me sad and guilt tripped me. She said she never did any such things, she was just showing concern and 'well, I guess I should never have gotten you all those nice presents when you were little then'. Which is almost a parody of a guilt trip. She and another aunt also felt I kicked them out too soon when they visited me in hospital. 'We came all this way'. And that me telling them I don't want kids is somehow rude? Let's just say I avoid that part of the family. There was an effort to make me apologize, but LOL.
