I find myself in the exact same situation. I've begun to really look at the people I consider friends. I think Christina has given really great advice and I intend to follow it! Someone once told me to think of the people in my life as being on a court. Some are outer court. These are the people you see casually, chat with but don't discuss the personal details of your life. Others are inner court. You spend time in each others home and generally know what's going on in each others lives. Then you have those that are behind the veil. These are the people you can tell things you would only tell to God. There should only be 1 or 2 people behind the veil.
In my situation people are not as supportive as I need them to be but I'm not ready to say they're not my friends. I've just given them a position in my life they are not deserving of. We could just be girlfriends and not the close knit friends I want and need them to be. I have to figure it out.
