[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 654493, member: 18958"] Thank you for your support and validation Elizabethanne How tough: Her cousin asked , "what do you want me to tell elizabethanne if she asks where you are?". She told her cousin, "I don't care what you tell her, tell her I died". On the one hand, one can feel her loss and pain. On the other, what justified her hurting you? How I would have treasured the love you gave Mother and Daughter during that time. My sister would not answer the phone during the last 9 months of my mother's life. How sad for your friend that she cannot value what you did give and share freely and generosity...choosing instead to focus on what you could not. Where is it written that you should follow her off the plank...and that gives her the right to punish you for not doing so? I hope she shows a high degree of insight about and asks forgiveness for her cruelty and vengeance towards you--which was completely undeserved in my view. That she will do so, is not my expectation. But you sound so wise, centered, generous and strong, and so open and loving, to allow her the chance to grow....That is what I strive to be...but so far feel I lack the protections in my personality to do so. I wonder too if I still want to hang onto blame.... [/QUOTE]
