Never Txt When In A Bad/ Sad Mood!

[Smowball]

My friend and I txt most days. As you all know it's been quite a week - I've been to court to see my son sent to prison, one of my other son's gf has finished with him out of the blue after 9 years(they've been together since 16) and he has completely gone to pieces so we've been trying to console him and find him somewhere to stay, my daughters been at breaking point with her 3 yr olds tantrums( yes I've witnessed them and god this child could out tantrum anyone!!) and then yesterday Mr Smow fell through the loft hatch of house we are renovating! Bruised and bloodied.
So on top of all this she didn't even txt me on court day - which was fine as I was all over the place. I get a txt the next day asking why I was so quiet! I reply that I'd been in court with son. Didn't get asked what happened. Then all of the above happened. Then I drove 130 miles home yesterday afternoon. Sit down finally and get another txt saying " we don't seem to talk like we used to and what's my problem"
. Sorry but I saw red. I replied stating all of the above and ended with fact that she didn't even bother to ask how court went and that she was being very petty when I had so much on my plate. Wish I hadn't sent it now but I have and can't take it back. Oh poop........

We're on our own in this world, apart from those we absolutely know have unwavering love for us through thick and thin. Your son knows you're there for him Smow.

Smow, is your lad back in Lincoln nick?
FB me if you don't want to say on here.

Dear Smow, I'm so sorry to hear of all the problems you have had recently, I hope you find the strength to get through it all. The friend you have mentioned, I'm not taking her side, but there might be a reason that she has done this, still, there is no reason good enough for her to treat you like this. As others have suggested, can you phone her or see her even , just so you will have one less problem to deal with.x

As far as the regretted text bit of your life is concerned, I think you are so stressed about other things that you are 'making a mountain out of a molehill'. You put your genuine feelings down, and the recipient now knows how stressed you are, and how lacking in thought/concern they have been. Seems to me they will learn by it and the relationship progress. If they are a genuine friend the outburst will help, if they are only there for the good times, then that will become clear. Don't sweat it, you have other, important things to deal with in your life.
