I want to be a good friend to this person. It's a little hard sometimes, though, when she complains every time I talk to her (by phone - we're not in the same state anymore) and has a negative attitude about having had children, etc. I try to stay positive, and sometimes I find myself saying the same thing more than once in different conversations when she makes the same complaint. If you have any advice for me handling this, and how I can be a good friend to her, I'd love to hear it. Thanks.
