Finally hit a breaking point today

19. Wonderful post!

It was the same lesson I had to learn. Circumstances forced me to move back to my father's house and I drove up his phone bill to the point where it was cut off for a few days and I had to pay it. I finally decided to not try to stay in touch with those people who I thought were my very good friends and see if they contacted me for a change. Guess how many of the five friends that I thought were like brothers and sisters to me actually contacted me? One. ONE. Always remember the chorus to 'Garden Party' by Ricky Nelson. Also remember this old saying from my neck of the woods: There are not enough hours in the day. Apply that amazing nature to things that you appreciate and that appreciate you, V. Like X said, one has to eventually suck it up and accept that those people don't care. And, it is painful. It sure was for me. But, it was also rather cathartic as I realized that I was being too nice again. (Something my husband gives me grief on daily.)
