[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I really appreciate these insights. Part of me wants to respond, own (again) whatever may have happened, and then express my sadness and dismay at her failure to acknowledge the loss of my mom and sister. Also express disappointment that the relationship meant so little to her that she kicked it to the curb, rather than expressing her hurt and asking me @ the time why DH and I were rude, etc. Another part of me is mad that she dropped this on me @ a time when I've just been getting my life back together after intermittent grief. That said, probably better to know that my emails were received and ignored rather than missed. [/quote] What she did to you was petty and needlessly cruel. She seems to have little/no empathy, and does not deserve your energy. Write her a letter (for yourself, not for her - do not send it) so you can begin to heal. Writing helps release the past to get the feelings of sadness and betrayal out, IMO. [/quote]
