[QUOTE="TheWalrus, post: 680025, member: 19905"] I have been through the same, multiple times, from my difficult daughter and her bio-dad's family - who were completely absent (by choice) the majority of her growing up. At first it used to blow me away, the cruelty of it. And I could not even rationalize why anyone would publicly say such horrible things about other people, because that kind of behavior isn't even in my field of vision. Then I would get so embarrassed and ashamed, wondering how many people I knew had read it, were whispering, were judging... Now? I don't care. Those words mean nothing to me nor to the people who truly know me. The rest don't matter. And the more I keep my head up and never fall down to that level and slam back, the more ridiculous they look and the more people apologize to ME. You can't control others. You can only control your response to them. It eats them up when you don't respond at all because that is what it is all about. [/QUOTE]
