[QUOTE="witzend, post: 155189, member: 99"] Thanks, all. Shari, I don't know that it will overcome the past or anything. I really am looking more towards the future. My gripe with these people is and always has been that they badmouth me to my kids and it's just not ever going to be ok. It would never be ok with them for anyone to do that with their kids. Heather, I will keep an eye out on the Wellbutrin. It's just so hard to know what is making me so irritable! Take your pick, I guess... K - I did mail the letters. I've written plenty and they were pages and pages long and they never got sent. This was quick, about 4 paragraphs, and right to the point. "It's not ok to tell my kids lies about me, it's not ok to tell my kids anything detrimental about me, and if you do it again, you'll see what it feels like." It's hard for me to understand what anyone thinks that they are going to get out of tearing someone down behind their back. We had a friend and his wife who was making a point of doing that to mutual friends. We listened and didn't say anything, but never told the other couple what the one couple was saying. It turns out that it did get back to them, and I have been very glad that we didn't take any sides on it. The couple who was gossiping are not really friends any longer. They lost interest in us. It says something about what kind of people they are, I think. Do you think most people get it that badmouthing someone who isn't there to defend themselves means there is something wrong with the one doing the talking, or is that rare? [/QUOTE]
