[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674792, member: 19522"] Hi Serenity, thank you. I have a few very close friends, and that is fine with me. The trouble is, our lives are so darn busy with jobs and kids, kids hobbies and sports, it is hard to get together. So, now the challenge is to make time, because we do love each other a lot, and have fun when we do get together. My problem has been to be too trusting and quick to dive into things. There was a period of time when I went into hermit mode, I do not mind being alone. It was after being completely squashed by a bully on a non profit board I was on for awhile. Now, she is attempting to oust others and shun folks who put a lot of love, time and effort into the organization. It is disturbingly like the mean girls at high school who get others to gang up on people they do not like. I suppose this is a form of shunning also. I am flabbergasted by things that have gone on, deceit, accusations, finger pointing and such. It is politics at it's ugliest. UGH. I have come to realize that this is not how I want to spend my time volunteering. Nope, DNA is not all that important. I still have my family, they have not shunned me. There were moments there, but, we shall see what happens. I am so sorry for your experience, and others who have been treated thusly. Mom is better, but still, the lung cancer....... Her wish is for us to be family and get along, so I will try my best to fulfill that for her, with what time she has on earth. It is the least I could do. I just have to more careful with my words and sharing, to keep things peaceable. "Don't rock the boat...." It has helped tremendously to be able to share here on CD. Thank you Serenity. leafy [/QUOTE]
