[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 677369, member: 1550"] Thanks, Leafie. I love your posts. They are so smart and beautiful and wise. I don't want to be in the "in" crowd. It is actually an "in" crowd of two. She took in my brother after shunning him first. Go figure. No matter how much somebody is angry at a family member, there is no reason to send mean letters and do cut offs or call the police. I was not an angel in my FOO. But they were no better. It's just that they buttered up my mother and she was nicer to them than me. My sister was always afraid not to be in the "in" crowd. I used to listen to her cry on the phone when it was HER turn to be on the receiving end of her Mean Girl friends and I remember clearly thinking, "Why does she even want to be friends with people like that?" She reconnected with the same Mean Girls later in life...a collection of mostly party people, drinkers, some cocaine users, and by her own description she felt a lot of them were screwed up and even "borderline." Everyone is messed up except her. Must be nice. But I do think, by her description of her reconnected "friends" that most were rather bizarre. Anyhow, going to watch a movie with hubby. Have a great night! :) [/QUOTE]
