I don't want PJ raise with people texting while eating dinner it is rude and awful thing to do. I said, and saying the f word in front of your child is okay. She is said, this is not your F'in house and you don't live her anymore so if I say I don't want you to text at the dinner table then you don't text. I said fine, put my fork down, packed my bags and walked out the door.

Upside to yours versus mine is that my sister has been showing her ass for YEARS!!! She has tried to break up 3 marriages, including my parents. At this point, my parents is the only one she is being successful at. She has my dad wrapped around her pinky, and I'M THE BABY!!! WTF!?!?!

Sounds like you had a fun filled family gathering.

Glad you got up and walked out.

My parents and I got drunk and watched Paranormal Activity 1 and 2.

I need new friends.

I don't know what to do about the best friend (Christa) deal. We've known each other since I moved to Arkansas in sixth grade. She has another friend, Julie, who she introduced me to a couple years ago and we all became like the three musketeers. When Julie got a divorce, I helped her move out of her house (everything in like 12 hours), paid to get her lights and water and gas turned on, gave her grocery money, gave her daughter my childhood bed to sleep in, ran her around to job interviews, bought her all kinds of stuff.

Julie started dating this guy who was kind of a jerk, very obsessive and controlling and manipulative, liked to emotionally abuse her. She got fed up one night and she and Christa came to my house to get away and vent. I told her I was worried about how he treats her and if they don't get it figured out fast then they'd never work out-- it was scary to have those kind of problems early on and he was acting crazy.

Well she didn't tell me but apparently what I said pissed her off. Julie continued to contact me asking me for rides, money or for my pain medication, up until two months ago. All of my friends' families were going to the pumpkin patch and I asked Christa if I could go too, because I'd never been. She told me that wasn't a good idea because Julie was mad at me, then Christa told me the BS reason why. I immediately texted Julie and apologized and told her if I'd hurt or upset her she needed to tell me. She won't respond.

Christa says we are both her friends and she is not picking sides, but since this all came down, Christa doesn't invite me to do things anymore. Julie is with her all the time, and Christa has been having football parties, thanksgiving get-togethers, all of that stuff-- and not inviting me. I took Christa to a private Junior League event last week and bought her $200 worth of clothes because she is broke, and haven't hardly heard from her since. I told her Saturday I wanted to come to the Thanksgiving party so I could see all of our friends and get to have a Thanksgiving, and I felt like I'm being punished by her and like she has chosen sides. Christa said she wasn't getting into it with me and to have a nice night. She was out running around with Julie and our friend Kelly after their big Thanksgiving bash which I wasn't invited to.

What do you guys think? Do I write her off? I'm so hurt. It seems to me like she has chosen sides.

Over the summer my cell broke and I needed to get a new one. She took my upgrade. I flipped out on her and she said well I didn't like the Iphone so I decide to get a different phone. I am like I don't even have a phone that works. That is not fair! So she threw her cellphone at me. Once again, I packed my bags and walked out the door.

I can see how texting at the table might come of as rude, when you're in the company of others. Just sayin

It was one text. "Hey hun, eating dinner. TTYL"

[2010 SSRS]

my Thanksgiving was awesome, we all watched football, drank beer after the Turkey dinner and then we went out in the garage and talked about Camaros for a while and then came back in the house for turkey and stuffing sandwiches and the Thursday night football game, I love the holidays.

No family get togethers for holidays=no drama.

WOW!! I say write her off. Sounds like they are using you for the kind person you are and your money. How funny that they come around only when they NEED something or when you offer to buy things. Those aren't real friends, and I'm sorry you found out about your long time friend now and in this way. Sometimes other girls will come into the picture and change them into someone you never knew existed. Although it's a sad situation to lose a long time friend, you don't need to put up with her BS anyways. If she was TRULY your friend she wouldn't have chosen sides and invited you to the parties whether Julie was there or not. That's what friends do, and it's not like you had to sit next to or talk to Julie. There were other ppl there. I woud be careful if she does come around. She is just using you for her and her friends to benefit from financially and that's not cool.

Sounds similar to mine. My dad and I drank beer and watched football all day too.
