Need friendship advice!
I was best friends with someone for about 15 years. Her son was like my first baby. We were inseparable. When I got married a few years ago, she was 1 of 3 girls who I had stand up in my wedding. She really dropped the ball in a lot of different ways and just was not a friend when I needed her. We really haven’t talked since my wedding. Now that I have my own son, I am really thinking about reaching out to her. I miss our friendship and I think a big part of the problem was her husband who she has since divorced. Part of me feels like life is too short to stay mad forever and throw that away. The other part of me is just worried she won’t be the same friend she was before all of this and that nothing has changed. Advice? What would you do?

@Heather that’s a great way to look at it❤️
Reach out. Me and my bestie drifted years back and we didn’t talk for a long while, she reached out and things have been great ❤️ always worth a try

I'd reach out! If things don't go as planned, at least there'll be no further loss and just closure on the friendship, which will otherwise benefit you. Alternatively, it could go great, and you get back in touch. You'll both be different people than what was previously in your friendship, so she won't be the same friend. It could be better. Either way, I think you're in a win-win situation if you reach out because you'll either gain closure, or a friend.
