…you know when you mention the people who claim to care is can be 2ways.
One yep they really DGAF and to me the other side the ones who show care maybe don't have an idea/understanding how to help.
A friend of mine is struggling post-separation and relocation to a Murray town. I reach out to her when I think of it, not on a calendar or clock basis. Sometimes she’s happy and chatty, other times anything from dead silent to caustically aggressive. It’s my “job” as a friend to weather all, best as I can - but it definitely makes you sometimes think at that moment, it’s all too hard; stop trying.
