It was healthy to finally confront the situation instead of ignoring it like I was doing, though. I was ignoring my inner wisdom while others were telling me not to open that can of worms. I think we're alike in that we give people many chances. For me, unconditional love and acceptance is a wonderful thing in a friendship, but lines get blurred and sometimes I find myself accepting behavior that should disqualify one from being my friend.Siddaleahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374026627556447276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856183318248330085.post-38373200807785950582013-05-31T01:37:21.369-04:002013-05-31T01:37:21.369-04:00I'm sorry, Siddaleah.

I hope you can work things out, although I know it's not always possible or even healthy to do so.<br /><br />I got through the weekend unscathed as far as I know. I hid from everybody except my kids. But a ghost of the bad mojo followed me halfway into the week. Unpleasant as it was, it served as a reminder that I have sometimes let liars and cheaters into my life and given them too many chances. I have no sympathy that their behavior is fueled by cowardice and jealousy. But I can use their behavior as an example of the person I never want to become. And I can compare them with the many wonderful friends i cherish, and know that I would be far ahead should I choose to play their ugly, desperate games. Vague as my words are, maybe you can find a similar lesson in losing a relationship you valued.Reticulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577343017332273507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856183318248330085.post-37067084663977762982013-05-30T04:40:48.319-04:002013-05-30T04:40:48.319-04:00So?

Actually, it probably ended in the weeks leading up to the weekend, but I only became aware of it on Sunday night. :-P But if you had a good weekend, I'm happy to have taken the bad mojo for you.
