A friend venting
I was on the phone for almost two hours with a friend yesterday. She has a five week old newborn. I love hearing about her and the baby and her boyfriend even. She usually lets it all out and then we move on to talk about normal things
I guess she's been having a particularly tough week. She finally got her medical bills and they're 2,500 from her birth, go figures. She complained on his point for almost an hour. Her pregnancy was unplanned but she sees her daughter as a blessing. I usually don't feel hurt, but all i felt like saying was i hope it costs me less than that to even get pregnant in the first place! She knows about my infertility and is usually very sensitive to it. And i understand she was just venting. But after she implied I'm better off being childless to save on a possible medical debt, i almost couldn't continue the conversation.
I'm praying for strength for myself to get over this jealousy and self-centeredness. But more over im praying for peace for my friend. I hope her week turns around!
Any other ladies ever get caught in similar situations? Where you feel offended but wrongfully so?
