Good point. Challenging times uncover what is underneath people's everyday front that they project. I knew she had tendencies to be unreliable as a friend. I think it is rooted in other issues she has. In the past year, we had gotten quite close. For a number of years previous, I was caring for my very ill significant other. She had detached from me because I didn't have a lot of time to get together with her. Plus she didn't want to hear much about the sickness I was dealing with. She said it reminded her of when she had immediate family who were ill and who died.

After my sig. other passed away, I messaged her that I was free and wondered how she was doing. She came back into my life in a big way. Now that she could get my undivided attention, she was wanting to get together every week and calling almost daily. It seems like she wants all, or nothing. So I guess me backing away from her over our booster disagreement was intolerable to her.
