Warning... Uncontrolled Venting inside

[Guest]

I am upset.

Today was supposed to be my big bridging ceremony for my girl scout troop. Well... I have a temp. of 102 so I didn't want to hazard a chance that I had something contagious and give it to all those kids, so I let my Assistant Leader take over a few meetings.

Well...... you think a friend is a friend.... but NOOOOO. Mind you... at one time I dated her son and her daughter was my best friend. I have babysat her younger children several times... and I gave her a car. But does this mean that someone will stay loyal to you? Hell No.

I got upset because now she has basically pushed me out of the leader role with the girl scouts. She made meetings that she KNEW I couldn't make it to. Then she blames everything she can't do on me. Ok... I have tried to deal with this. and personally I think I have been nice about all this.

But now I don't even want to go to the meetings that at one time I loved going to. I want to take all of my supplies and throw them at her. Throw my handbooks and everything up on her porch and let her handle it all. Let her have all the stress of parents calling her when they are pissed.

So I ask... am I overreacting????

I am quite willing to end a friendship with someone that I have known and talked to for almost 7 years because of this shit.

and she acts so jealous when a parent calls me and not her..... and she's OLDER than me.

ok.... ok... I will breathe.

Feedback appreciated.

I don't think you're overreacting at all. You are entitled to your feelings.

I suggest waiting until you're calm then confront her with it. It doesn't have to be a nasty confrontation but she needs to know how you feel. If she continues with what she's doing, I'd hand leadership over to her and let her deal with the headaches. If she's as flaky as she seems to be coming across in your post, she'll be back asking you for help. Then it will be up to you to decide what to do.

This is all the insight I can offer. Good luck girlfriend - you're going to need it.

i dont think you are over reacting at all.

friendship is a two way street.
one only gets out of a friendship what one puts in to it.
it sounds like you have done a lot on your part of it.
maybe even too much.
