[QUOTE="Nomad, post: 711839, member: 4152"] Copa...it makes it harder to bear. We always thought of them as kind people. Now, in retrospect, we realize that most of their friends or relatives were "inferior" at least in their eyes. But, much of what was on the surface was false. There was a lot of behind the scenes stuff going on shoring them up. So, when he lost his job, things got really weird. Then there was that situation where he was accused of causing damage to family members and these family members not keeping quiet and pulling away. A lot of oddities. Instead of recognizing or acknowledging that my husband is an outstanding citizen, husband and father...they are treating him like the enemy. It's shocking. I could never thank him enough. To hold two jobs, to help me with Difficult Child, to come with me to doctor appointments...never EVER complaining EVER...with no help whatsoever. I have friends who have much more money than myself. It makes no difference. I'm honored to have good friends. Whether they have a lot of money, little money, are in between jobs, doing better, doing worse...all of it is irrelevant. It's been horrible. As a side note...one of their relatives from another country ended up doing very well. They now can't stand them. Yes B is the former babysitter. We've remained close. I agree, I wont tell them, although it would be almost fun to watch them freak out. Sick. [/QUOTE]
