This is so sad, but I can relate. I also don’t have ‘that’ friend. Someone I’d been friends with since I was 5, started ditching me when I was 15/16 when I had anxiety problems and she got a boyfriend. We drifted apart, but even though she was my oldest friend I don’t think she was ‘that’ friend. #Blogstravaganza

In reply to Becci - The UnNatural Mother. I think being the first in a group to have children plays a part, no one else needs to understand how bloody hard it is. They get to do cuddles and leave. Thanks for reading x

In reply to Lucy At Home. Oh that's a sad and a happy story. I'm sorry you're friend weren't there but I'm glad you found your husband along the way. My boyfriend is amazing, always there for me but sometimes you need a person one step removed to truly feel you can say what you want. I think I'm probably too demanding ? Thanks for reading my love x

Oh gosh this could have been written about me! I had lots of friends growing up but when I went to uni, I got ill in my second term (I had M.E. ) and nobody wanted to know me – my new uni friends weren’t yet close enough friends to care for me when I was ill, and to my friends from home I was “out of sight, out of mind”. I had M.E. for 6 years, and even though I’ve been symptom-free now for 4 years, I still don’t have any close friends. I feel like I missed the lesson on making friends as an adult because from 19 – 25yrs, I didn’t have any. Like you, I always try to be THAT friend to others, because I know what it’s like not to have anyone, but I still haven’t met MY friend yet.

Having said that, hubby has stuck with me through thick and thin. We met just 3 months before I got ill, and yet it didn’t put him off. He married me when I was at my poorliest, and we didn’t even know if I’d be able to walk down the aisle. And actually, no friendship is better than that!

Sorry for the essay! #blogcrush

I was the 1st to have kids so I had no one in my circle to turn to in my hours of need. With both kids, i relied on the support of strangers to help me through. I do need to add that 2 of the strangers are now 2 of my closest friends. #PostsFromTheHeart

I have a mum friend that is just at the other end of the phone, it’s so nice to get a reply at 3am when you’ve been up with the monkeys! This is a really lovely post, I’m going to forward it to my mum friend to show my appreciation! Thanks so much for sharing with #Blogstravaganza, hope to see you again next week xx

Finding THAT friend isn’t easy. I only found mine as an adult, and we’ve been that to each other from the start. Sometimes I think we may take having a friend like that for granted, but this post was a really nice reminder to always appreciate them if we’re fortunate enough to have them. x #blogcrush

I’m a terrible person. I don’t have “that” friend and I never will. Why? Because I will never BE “that” friend. I can’t be. I don’t have it in me to be that available to someone (besides Hubby and my children). But I wish the best to everyone who can do it 🙂
