writes:I have a friend who has an eight year old son who tried to commit suicide and was admitted to a mental hospital on a Friday night. On Saturday, she sent out a text message that she was still having "Girls night out". I didn't go because I had plans already and going out seemed bad after what had happened. I thought it was strange that she went out drinking and then to a club, like she really didn't take her son's suicide attempt seriously. I sent her a text telling her that her son was in my thoughts and prayers. She posted pictures on her facebook from the night out and never mentioned anything about her son in the feeds. On Monday, she sent me a text telling me that I was the only friend who didn't call her and then told our mutual friends that I hadn't even contacted her. Amongst her drama, I was having my own set of problems,work,school boyfriend, etc. I sent her a text telling her that I was sorry that I hadn't called because i was having issues myself. She sent me back a text telling me that I was selfish, and that she wasn't a priority to me and now I'm upset. I didn't really mean to be insensitive but I also think she is being dramatic. I know I should have called but I guess I was kind of upset that she would party while her son was in the hospital. She has been bad mouthing to all of our mutual friends. Should I tell her why I didn't call?

 oh my god!!! What a horribly selfish woman!! i have an eight year old son too, and if he ever tried to do anything like that, and was admitted to a mental hospital, i would demand that i stay with him, day and night! how could she go out and party, and actually enjoy herself, whilst her baby is institutionalised! i wouldent of blamed you if you had never of called this woman again, i mean why would you even want to be friends with her? you seem like a lovely, caring woman, and little miss drama queen is just dragging you down with her constant attention seeking. please do yourself a favour, and drop this self centered cow!! xxkimxx
