[QUOTE="muttmeister, post: 428272, member: 135"] I, too, am sorry you are having to put up with all of this and proud of your SO for standing with you. I learned long ago and have made it my personal mantra: I can't control anybody else; I can only control my reactions to them. When people treat you badly, it sukks but you can't change them. They are who they are. It especially hurts when they are people who we feel should be there for us but, again, you can't control them. You can respond in kind but that is lowering yourself to their level. You can sit around and stew about it but that accomplishes nothing. Sometimes there comes a point where you just have to write them off and get on with your life. Hopefully, with SO's help, you are on the way to doing that. [/QUOTE]
