One-way friendship ends,
feelings of guilt remain
DEAR ABBY: My
“friend" from childhood,
“Camille," has never had
my back. I have done the
heavy lifting in our friend
ship our whole lives.
While I was on vacation
two years ago, she was
diagnosed with cancer. I
came home immediately
and drove to the hospital at
1 a.m. to be by her side.
I’ve always been by
Camille’s side for every
thing, even though she
hasn’t been there for me. I
told her that several times,
to no avail.
I went to every chemo
and doctor appointment, and
was there every day to mb
her feet to make her feel bet
ter. I threw her a party for
100 people to “kick cancer’s
butt," took her on a vacation
— it goes on and on.
I ended the one-sided
friendship last year. My
problem is, I feel guilty for
doing it. I feel I left her with
cancer. But I also feel that
because someone is sick
doesn’t give them the right
to be abusive or inconsider
ate. Camille hasn’t tried to
contact me, either. In fact,
she has told others that she
will never speak to me
again.
I bent over backward for
her, but if some other person
sent a card, she would make
a big deal out of it. I’m
deeply hurt and don’t know
how to move on. Help! —
WOUNDED ON THE
EAST COAST
DEAR WOUNDED:
One way to stop feeling
guilty and get on with your
life would be to acknowl
edge in your head and your
heart that the relationship
with Camille was not a
healthy one for you. In
fact, from the way you
have described it, it was
more like a bad habit.
Bad habits can be diffi
cult to break, but many
people have been able to
accomplish it by replacing
a bad habit with a good

one. Example: Instead of
feeling guilty for not rub
bing Camille’s feet, consid
er getting a pedicure for
yourself. Although it might
seem expensive, but cheaper
than talking to a therapist.

DEAR ABBY: My sib
lings and I, all bom in the
’50s in a small town, have
fond memories of our child
hood. After our mother died
in 1989, our father married
“Sylvia," a new arrival in
town. They lived together in
our childhood home until
his death in 2016.
We “kids" wanted to
honor our parents and our
fond childhood memories.
We endowed a plaque for
the town park dedicated to
their memory and noting
they had raised a family in
that community. Sylvia is
now grievously offended
and furious that she was not
included.
Abby, Sylvia came on the
scene long after we were
raised and gone. She’s not
our parent and played no
part in the memories we
wanted to honor. Although
Sylvia was a good wife to
our dad, she did her best to
erase all traces of our moth
er from Dad’s memory and
from his home. Were we
wrong? — CONFUSED
IN PENNSYLVANIA
DEAR CONFUSED:
You weren’t wrong, but it
would have been better had
you discussed your plans for
the plaque with Sylvia
before donating it. That way,
you would have been able to
explain to her the reason
why she wouldn’t be on it.
She may still be grieving the
loss of your father, so try to
understand her feelings.
