i was the best friend i could of been
i tried to be the best friend i could and still it seemed it wasn't good enough. my best friend and i were best friends forever and we helped eachother with everything.our kids grew up together and our girls became best friends and then my best friend ripped it out from under them. it all started last year when i had a big 16th birthday party for my daughter and she had like 10 people camp out in the back yard. they were not doing anything wrong but at like 2:00 in the morning the cops stopped by and said a neighbor called because they were being to loud. he just told them to go to bed and keep quiet. and they did. the next day i took my best friend's daughter home and told her how everything went and told them about the cops stopping by and it appeared to b no big deal. little did i know that a couple of days later she informs me that maybe it would b best if we took a break from the girls hanging out. i was pissed because i knew it didn't come from her but from her husband[the girls step father].here is just a little back ground on our friendship. she was 16 when she had her daughter and then got invoved with a violent boy friend. when she decided to get out she and the baby came to live with me, my husband, and my daughter.we lived in a one bedroom apt. but we took her in and gave them the bedroom and we slept in the living room on a pull out. anyways, we grew up and she moved on but we stayed close. as she got older she started dating my cousin, became a stripper and went through alot of hard times. i was there through everything. i babysat and practicaley raised them. anyways she helped me financialy,but i helped raise her kids and when the girls were around 10 she met a lawyer and started dating. he was married but was planning on divorcing his wife. well, they did and ended up ingaged. she qiut dancing and got married. they moved out of stse and i continued taking the girls when they had vacation. but after the 16th party all of the sudden we weren't good enough to take the girls anymore. i always protected them and nothing ever happened to them whrn i had them but they decided we weren' t good enough. i tried talking to her but she won't return any phone calls and my daughter went into depression after she lost her best friend. then recently my daughter ran into her husband and told her how well she was doing. she told them she had 2 jobs, is going to graduate in june and got accepted into college. he said he was happy to hear that and she should call his daughter but yet we can't get a hold of her. i'm angry we didn't deserve this but yet i still want to reach out because i miss her and the girls.should i move on?
