You'd think someone who was your 'friend' would be sensitive to your struggles, and would not want to cause you any additional stress or heartache. You'd think that, but....you'd be wrong. How can someone, in public, drop a bombshell on you, knowing its going to break your heart into pieces?
Picture this: You are in church, getting ready for prayer requests and prayer. All of a sudden, a really good friend of yours says 'please pray for our son, he is going to be a big brother'. And you look at his wife, who knows all about your fertility struggles, and was one of the only ones you told about a chemical pregnancy. You look at her, and your heart is hurting, because she could have told you in private so that everyone isn't about to witness your emotional breakdown. You look for an apologetic look, that means "opps I should have told you seperate". Instead she laughs and says, "Pray for me too, cause I might throw up on any of you at any time". WTF??!! So, I hold it together long enough for prayers to start, and then I lose it, and bawl my eyes out. Did she come to me afterwards, when it was obvious I was distraught? Nope. Did she even speak to me? Nope. I didn't even get the normally hug, love you, bye, that I normally get. She avoided me completely. Some friend.
Oh yeah, and to add insult to injury, I started cramping this morning. Figures.
