KathyM ,I've never behaved so intrusively with my friend.I've helped and given support when I've been asked to.The trouble is,I just don't seem to detect any regard for me as a person or friend-words are all very well but actions speak louder and when it's come to actions-nothing.She'd blame this on this illness but like I've said-it's never stopped her from doing anything she really wanted to do(which she agrees with).It seems all about her getting her needs met-she'll do anything and can do anything to achieve that.So,I figure,If she can do it for that,she could do it for another person -it's just that she doesn't care enough to put the effort in.That's why I don't understand why I even waste my time thinking of her!! BUt I do,and care.
