[QUOTE="elizabrary, post: 458867, member: 11235"] I used to hide it from everyone, but not anymore. If someone asks about Kat, depending upon how well they know us, I tell them the truth- from just generally to very specific. What I've found is that Kat hates that- she doesn't want me to "tell everyone her business." So I tell her if she doesn't like it then she shouldn't be doing things she embarrassed for people to hear about. I can't lie- I do take some pleasure in this. I have also quit giving a darn about what people think, and to my face at least, they are generally sympathetic and supportive. I'm sure they talk all kinds of sh*t behind my back, but I just figure if they're so busy talking about me they really need to get a more interesting life of their own. And a short story about this- a woman I work with (not closely, but we do interact) must have heard the gory details when Kat's baby daddy grabbed KK and ran off with her- all the police intervention, abuse, court hearings, blah, blah, blah, so at a company picnic I had KK with me and she said, "What about this little one? Does she see her daddy?" So I decided- lady you want to hear the story, here it is. And I told her in detail every single horrible thing that had happened in front of about 5 other co-workers (most of whom already knew the story anyway). She and her husband stood there with frozen smiles on their faces not knowing what to even say to me. I bet she never asks another person a snide question again! :) [/QUOTE]
