I'm curious... Your former friend... She didn't remember she had money she owed you or she she thought she deserves it and paying back is optional?

She knew the terms of our agreement because she was the one determining them, she knew it's a loan till she gets back, but her needs were far more important than anything else. I remember I had to have surgery at one point, chances of having cancer were high and I phoned her to tell I need the money. Not even that made her to get my money back. Good thing I did not need it as I'm not like her. Buying home cinema system by taking out a loan from the bank and going on trips were more important to her. She gave my money back eventually, but left it in the mailbox. I suppose a face-to-face would have been too much to handle for her.

That's incredibly insensible and self-centrist behavior if she didn't give your money back after such a conversation.
I hope things turned out ok on the health side.
Yes, these were heavy things and all piling up, till I had enough. The story is more complex, there were even worse things like this, so I had enough. (My mom was diagnosed with cancer and she passed away after 1.5 years. My dear friend vanished from my life completely, then after my mom's passing, she came back, telling me what I should do with my life. That's when I dumped everything she's done on her and told her I don't want to see her again.)
If you can't trust your friends and rely on them during hard times, better not have them. This is a classic example of with friends like her, you don't need enemies.
Oh, thank you Adrian, it wasn't cancer after all and I'm fine now, but it was a wake up call, to show how short life can be.
Ah, so sorry to hear about your mom! That's a tough blow to take, especially since she passed away so quickly (in cancer "time"). My grandma had cancer and somehow she lived with it for 7 more years, but it was tough, especially on my mom (I was mostly away in school).
Yeah, you're better off without your so-called friend. It's hard to have to deal with something terrible in your life and with the disappointment of seeing the way she vanished from your life when you needed her. There are people like her. The good times kind of friends. Totally unreliable when you need them in hard times.
And I'm sorry for your grandma. My mom had pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rate, if not the lowest.
Yeah, you know the saying about good friends. It was a good lesson for me and I'm glad I don't have to see her again. Italians say meglio perdere che trovare. Which means better to lose her than to find her.
