I'm confused. You say this friend is really caring? unyet she replied in a cold off hand manner to something that is precious to you? Maybe your having doubts about her ablity to be a true friend? and this is causing confusion within you? I know when we've been raised unhealthly we know at some level that something is just not right about someone, but unfortunately we are so used to being used adn abused that we fall for the same kind of people?

I will say one thing about this friend though. Maybe your story resonated to deeply with her and she couldn't deal with it other then be offhand with it?

Sharing our story is something I need to be very careful about. I've many times offered it out to people who have not been able to offer the understtanding and compassion I was so desperately asking for?

I Hear your pain at the moment, I am sorry. Please no that with time and appropriate care things improve.

Take care
