Yes, the friends thing is hurtful and I'm sorry that happened. In our sitch, most people split right down the middle and were either 'mine' or 'his' - and I didn't have a problem with the reaction of friends. The big problem I had was with XH's family, whom I got along with well and we went on holiday together.

They have barely checked in on me - a couple of curt responses to early emails. Some non-responses and one chatty email from MIL in response to one of mine. I've found it hard to get beyond them not being there for me at all during such a difficult time. They are transatlantic, so I wouldn't have seen much of them - but HXW has been much more supportive than they have! I have no time for them now.

It takes time, but we get through these things and let them go hopefully.

Take care Sweetie xx
