[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m here to hear about your decision to stay in a neighborhood where you or your family experienced ostracizing, exclusion or social cruelty.

Neighborhood families who previously hung out split into two fractions after an ugly fight. We feel uncomfortable with both groups’ behaviors - but that also means no invites for our kids. We’ve decided to stay, and I’ve love to hear from other people who’ve ridden this stuff out. [/quote]

Could you start a third faction of people who are on the edges of the fight?  I'm sure that not everyone is as invested as those at the heart of it.
Figure out who those folks are and invite them over for coffee, BBQ or playground meet up.  Or invite their kids over for a playgroup.  If you invite kids over then they will likely reciprocate.

I also live in a close knit/insular neighborhood and there was a lot of that behavior around the time of the local election.  It cooled down eventually but during the height of it, things got nasty.
