I agree with you. When I needed encouragement and support the most, my closest friends did the opposite: pulled out of my life completely, one of them quite abruptly and abusively, taking some others with him. It hurt. But, since then, I have other friends who have been there for me. And there are some friends whom I have been there for, because I know what it was like. So it's not impossible. :) It's wise to be careful in choosing whom you try to lean on. Maybe it's not possible without a hard learning experience first. And it's made harder by not being in the most rational state of mind at the time.
