I'm sorry to hear that. I've experienced similarly. It sucks and some people do suck, and especially when we need them they're not there. I've come to the conclusion that I perhaps misjudged them, that it was me etc. The easy thing for me to say is that if people are that way then you are better finding those that truly care. Again, easy for me to say as I've found it hard myself.
But we keep trying...... And people here will listen too, that's a great solace.
Take care of you, you're the most important person in this equation, not them.
