Warning -- feeling bitter and the writing may reflect this.
It's been hard these past few weeks. Whenever my friends are going through hardships, I try my best to be there to support them. Not only with my time, but with whatever they may need. I have even helped with childcare which isn't my strongest point. I realized that I am no longer able to deal with young ones and their neediness. So, I am trying to be there emotionally and as a sounding board.
Having a friend being investigated for child neglect when it's so unfounded is alarming. The person who reported it is anonymous for the time being. This has been very upsetting for the family and for all who know them well. The caller obviously doesn't know this family very well, is just pure evil, or both! When the charges are dropped, this family will still have to deal with the trauma caused by these allegations. As a friend, I can't make it go away. I really wish I could but it just has to work its way through the system.
Please God, let it be done with as fast as possible so that their lives can get back to normal, as much as possible. I also live in fear of who could have made the call and what it would do to my life.
Having another friend in the hospital unable to see her children is pretty bad too. I am trying to visit her as often as possible so that she doesn't feel like she's been forgotten. I remember being in the hospital after A was born and how lonely I felt when no one came until the next day to visit us.
I pray she comes out soon, feeling better, with renewed hope.
My hubby's friend from the past has re-emerged and I am weary. He betrayed his wife many years ago and wants to go out to dinner together. Give me a break! Why would I want to associate with a scumbug like that? He broke her heart and stomped on it and is pretending that nothing's wrong. He doesn't even know we had a third child. What kind of friend is that? He wants something. Alert! Alert! Avoid at all cost!
Bad friends are like cancer, must cut away before they destroy you.
Good friends are like vitamins, they help you stay healthy.
Wishing for wisdom to be able to know who my true friends are. Who will be there for me when I am in need?

Wow, that was so emotional. It's tough to see friends suffer. The best friends are the ones that always have a willing ear and will call you just to see how you are doing. I hate it when people call me just when they need something.
I would hope all your friends will be there for you when you need them. You always seem to give so much of yourself to others.
Once I learn how to say "No", that will be the time when I see who my true friends are.
