My best friend let me down when I needed her most

DEAR DEIDRE: My dad passed away and two weeks later, I had a massive argument with my best friend. I feel as if I’ve lost everything.

Dad was 78 and had a stroke which he never recovered from. It was such a shock. He looked after my mum who is 75 and she has a disability.

Now the responsibility has fallen to me to be her main carer. We have help coming in too.

I’m a woman of 49 and my best friend worked with me for years at a firm of accountants. She’s 45 and was great while my dad was in hospital...
