Yes that is what I feel.
I want to be friends and just because they have gone a different path it really should not matter.
That is why I feel such loss I think.
My husband also thinks that they might feel hurt watching us doing what they wanted there for feeling that they can't talk to us or be with us.
Time will tell and I'll just keep on holding out the hand in the hope that one day our friendship will keep on but maybe while they are sorting out their way of parenting they do not want to be reminded?
Thank you for your help
