She knows what it's like having kids and she knows that I wouldn't flake on her because I always got her back...Or, like someone else said, maybe she doesn't value the friendship like you do...

The bad thing about the kid being in bed was I had talked to her not even 30 minutes before I broke down and her kid was not asleep then. She decided to go back to working nights so she could make more money and now her husband carries her son to her parents house every night. Sometimes he is already asleep and sometimes he isn't. Regardless of the details of that particular incident, there have been many others (not related to breaking down) that she has not been there when I needed her when I knew she could be and just chose not to be.
