Friendship on the Rocks: Baby Shower Drama

Our protagonist always tried to be a good friend, even when she felt used by her less fortunate friend. When her friend became pregnant, they bonded over their shared desire to be mothers. However, as our protagonist’s life improved, their friendship became strained. She bought her friend numerous gifts for Christmas and the baby, but when she was snubbed on Christmas day and then asked to attend a last-minute baby shower, she decided enough was enough. She returned some gifts and donated the rest to a women’s shelter, leading to a fallout between the two friends. Was she wrong to give away the gifts, knowing her friend needed them?
