[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ouch what a punch in the gut.  I am sorry I don’t have anything to say that you probably don’t already realize
-you have other friends, so know that “it’s not you, it’s them”.

I am sorry for this.  Sounds really mean spirited.  I hope these people are still in their twenties , hopefully not older than 35.  To be that petty and shallow by age 40 is wrong.  By 40 hopefully one learns to be confident, sincere, kind, appreciative.

Big hug from cyber space.

Make time for fun with new acquaintances and a few friendships will develop - if not no worries you had fun, got your mind of the bs.[/quote]

Thank you, I really appreciate the support. I agree -- the whole thing blindsided me because it never occurred to me that people this age would be this gossipy. In retrospect[b] I overlooked a lot of red flags[/b].[/quote]

The cruelty of these adult women takes my breath away. I’m so sorry. This is the kind of stuff that happened to me in middle school and in my twenties. Do not let them know how dark your life became. Do not give them this power.

Focusing on your healing, what red flags did you miss? Use this introspection to identify red and orange flags in your new life.

NP. I read the first book by this author (Queen Bees & Wannabees) years ago, before I had kids, and had no idea she'd written others. I'm so glad she is looking at how parents contribute to this behavior in kids by acting it out themselves. I remember thinking about the first book that while it was about girls and teenagers, I knew dozens of adults (men and women) who play these exact same games at work and in social circles. It's so much more common than people are willing to admit.[/quote]
