Hi Dex. What a hard situation. It must be so frustrating and painful! It sounds like you are being very clear about your needs and kudos for that! Some people are so lost in their own lives they don't think about other people. It sounds like that's what you're running into. I have a sister like that. I just decided it's not worth the effort to even try to have a relationship with her. I'd rather be alone than take her crumbs when she's willing to give them. I'm sorry you're going through this. I hope people who are more caring and reliable will come into your life. You derserve that. You deserve to be heard. It sounds like this friend isn't hearing you at all and isn't being honest with you for whatever reason. I believe in cutting the "dead wood" and moving on. There must be better people out there for. You're a good person and remember you deserve to be treated well. You're not asking for alot, simple courtousy. My 9 year old daughter even knows that's appropriate. Good luck! Annie
