I'm not going to check up on a grieving friend
Does it make you feel better to not check up on them?
I feel happy because I don't have to play the parent role anymore
I understand that we can be overwhelmed at times when it comes to dealing with other people's problems. I think you really should try to put some time aside to be there for your friend. Try to think optimistically about being able to help them out.
It's fine, I'm tired of playing the parent role in this friendship
Like I said I understand it can be tiring. I still think you should try to find some time to be there for your friend. Any amount of time would mean the world to them.
