Summary
Together Anna and Cat tackle the following question:
"After a lot of discussions and a few incidents, a very close friend of mine sent me some very clear messages that she's distancing herself from our friendship - I'm only going to see her at group gatherings like birthdays or Christmas. This was over a year ago that this all started and I still cry most times I think about it. I decided to have children, she's doing the career thing."
