Friends and family are different things and both are important ,when my husband died suddenly just after our 25th wedding anniversary I would not have got through the next few weeks and months without both. Our " couples " friend have sometimes found things difficult as I no longer have another half , however my "pony" friends were used to me being on my own as my husband only liked the big events finals etc and in some ways have picked me up and included me more readily as a singleton. I am not saying this is right it is just how it has been and I was in some ways lucky 2 lovely children and a family I am very close to but my friends have been very important to me and I will never forget them.

I am so sad for you, you sound very brave and thankfully your friends and family were there to see you through those dreadful months.

I have a few friends they are they sort that will alway help if needed and i return the favour - the rest can manage without me and i can manage without them - have been caught but not very often thankfully but i have learnt along the way. Treasure the real friends you have they are worth the weight of gold.

apart from a couple of people who i can trust i now no longer trust anyone else,after past experiences, even though most have never done anything for me to distrust them, like other people have said, you dont see it coming, but now every little thing that might be completely innocent, goes round in my head, and i think theres a different motive for it, but now days again like someone else said, its easier not to make new friends and trust people because least then it cant go wrong, sad but better than to fall into more bother :/

m@m i totally get where you are coming from and 100% agree.
I have friends who i don't see very often, but i know that should i need them they are there in a flash, these are the best sort of friends, others come and go and more often than not bit*h about you behind your back, i don't rely on anybody except my mum and thats the way i like it.
ETA - this is not anybody in the 'horsey' world

cant believe this thread is still running, but i think we all agree. I wish i still had my parents as they were such amazing people. People come and go (quite often after using you for everythng they can get) Taken me a long time to realise it though.

Oh, you haven't had the worst of it! My daughter thought she was friends with a girl at our yard. She told her that she wanted to ride my friend, Janet's dartmoor pony, next thing she tells Janet that we wanted to loan her pony!
She had done this before, but we forgave her. The first time she told one of Hannah's friends that Hannah had said her pony was ugly and that her sister couldn't ride!
