Search Results: bad friend friendship

I'm going to keep it short. Long ago my mother's good friend cheated with her then 1st husband and a child out of that affair was born. She divorced him and later on met my father and remarried.

6-7 years down the road... that woman had a cervical pregnancy and nearly bled to death. Her blood type was AB negative; rare one. It turns out my mother had the same blood type and willingly chose to be the blood donor, saving her life. In my mother's defense, it was in her power to save a person and not let an innocent child without a mother. In her stance letting her die when she can stop it would've made her just as bad. She forgave her in the process. Even though their friendship never really got back to the way it was, they're on ok terms (cordial basically) by now.

My mother used to meddle too much and gossip bad things about my boyfriend. She literally made others believe he was using me for sex. He talked about him as if he was the worst guy ever. Her best friend at the time (an older woman who was also my friend) died years ago. She died believing he was using me for sex, for my virginity.

The reason he got upset and visited me less was because one day my mother herself said ''don't come, my husband's friend and relatives are coming over for a whole week, you can come some other time''. He close to my house already and he felt excluded, hurt and offended. So he got upset and then my mother got upset at his reaction (him not coming over anymore) and started gossiping endlessly about him. Then she insulted him on my b-day, issued him a false apology over the phone and continued being a fake person for years. His friendship with her was a falsity for years.

Only after her health started getting worst and this pandemic not going away, she started softening her stance and has accepted him by now. I told her the real version, which she questioned why I never spoke up for him. She wouldn't have listened. She only started listening to me now. It took him a long time (years) for him to finally forgive her.
