[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674105, member: 19522"] Hi CaliforniaBlonde, I am so sorry for your sadness. What a forgiving person you are, after a tremendously difficult childhood experience, to reach out as you have done. Some folks are just downright mean spirited. I don't know why, but they are. Maybe they are reflecting things that happened to them somewhere in their lifetimes. This does not excuse mistreatment of others. They become toxic in their ways. Their actions, words and deeds may be toxic to us and for us. There is a good article on toxic people here- [URL]http://www.talentsmart.com/articles/How-Emotionally-Intelligent-People-Handle-Toxic-People-1028629190-p-1.html[/URL] It is hard when the toxic people in our lives are family members.

Please take time to do very nice things for yourself. It is important to feel what you feel, then take steps to heal and rebuild. My heart and prayers are with you. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
