Just ended the toxic friendship
So I just ended it! This so called bff had the nerve to tell me today that some people aren't meant to have children. She was totally implying that dh and I were miscarrying because we wouldnt be good parents. This is coming from the person who never wanted kids, didn't know she was pregnant AND had to have her agents pat her rent for 1 year upfront when she had her baby last month so she would have a place to live. She is right some people should have children, people exactly like her. The only thing that makes me sad over this is that her poor innocent child will have to live with this trainwreck for the rest of her life. I worry for when ex friends parents pass away. Poor child will probably be on the street living because her mother is so irresponsible.
Thanks for listening. I am glad to be done but her comment is still stinging especially as I am miscarrying as I write this. Please keep me and DH in your thoughts.
Re: Just ended the toxic friendship
No fricken way!!! She said that to you? Who says things like that to anyone? Even if you were irresponsible and bad parent material, no one has the right to tell you that "some people should not have kids"... You go girl telling her off and ending this relationship. What a selfish a-hole of a person!!!
I am so sorry that you are losing your baby now. My SIL has lost her just last week, and so did my BM last year. I know what you are going through and am sending you all the positive thoughts right now. You will be a mommy soon, just take good care of yourself now, and you'll be able to conceive again!!!

Wow. Damn straight that people like her don't need to having children; she obviously can't appreciate her child with an attitude like that. It makes me so mad when people who genuinely want and are actively trying for children have difficulty when other people who take their children for granted make ignorant comments like that.
I am so sorry that you are loosing the baby. Just try to stay strong and the plus side is that you know you are able to get pregnant. Stay healthy and keep TTC, and I'm sure you'll be a beautiful mother with a very happy and fully appreciated baby soon!
So sorry you're going through all this. Maybe one day your ex-friend will wake up and realize her horribleness is what's left her friendless.
Sending tons of good thoughts and vibes your way.

:,-( So sorry about the baby...
Very glad you disposed of toxic friend; ugh. People seem to think that "freedom of speech" implies that they can say tactless things to people who are already hurting enough to begin with. Seriously better for your health to have this person gone from your life.
Feel better soon.
