Most women value true friendship. I have heard some of us say that we don’t need friends as we have our families. I don’t believe that statement. I think it probably comes from a place of hurt, or not having good experiences with friends.
I write about friends and friendship because it is my conviction that a woman needs strong female support in her corner. It does not matter if you have a husband and children and all is going relatively well in your domestic space. Good wholesome female connection is vital.
It is also true many of us have had some horrible experiences with our female counterparts. In addition, too many times we as women ascribe the label ‘friend’ to just anyone and this creates a big problem.
