I don't get why she couldn't just call or email me to say that she couldn't watch my cats after all. I would've understood and made alternative plans. To hell with her. The trust is no longer there. Unless she got into an accident, there is no excuse for this at all.
I seriously hope that her bad karma will come back to get her sooner or later. I did tell her that in my final v.m message to her. I'm just so glad that my "kids" are OK- Thanksgiving wasn't a total loss. I shouldn't have let her get to me like she did.
My family did understand and forgive me btw-

It's called 'ghosting' - happens a lot on social media too. It is unfair because it demonstrates a lack of responsibility - and therefore care - for a once happy friendship.
But because you don't know what precisely what happened in the end - you have to gain closure in a more neutral way which is hard because its easy for feelings of anger about past behaviour to go unacknowledged.
You deserve better and will know what to be wary of next time. All the best to you.
