Yeah, I know....let it go.
I had a friend...a good friend. Someone who I confided things to that few knew.
We came to a point that we disagreed on some issues. Chris? I 100% understood. Our issues went beyond that, however.
I tried to talk to my friend. As I am well aware of the inherent pitfalls in emails/pms I asked my friend to call so we could better communicate. We had discussed issues on the phone before in the past so I didn't see this as being an issue.
The reply I got was short and sweet, and basically it was, "My way or the Highway".
And yes, I posted a very respectful reply when I left. For I had nothing but love for my fellow friend/monarch and guild mates. I understood that in certain aspects my membership was a trial up on them. I also felt that it was time for me to move on in the best interest of everyone concerned.
Yes, Pal has squelched me. I wish she had told me why before doing so. She'd have had to threaten the life of my wife or my kids for me to squelch her.
I have been blundering around trying to figure out what I did that pissed people off so much. No one has been able to come right out and said, YOU DID THIS!!
I have been through a State Police administered lie detector test. One of the questions was, Have you ever told a significant lie to a friend.
My answer, No.
I passed the test with flying colors.
I am hurt, and I am angry. And I 100% apologize for my post. It was a knee jerk reaction to a conversation with someone I had hoped to intervene and perhaps set things right.
I am what I am...flawed.
And I am stressed.
I have Chris 24/7. And as loving as he can be, he can be angry and spiteful.
Actually, it's less of the former and more of the latter.
But, I love him...with all my heart. I'd lay down in front of a bus for him.
I wish everyone here got to spend 10 minutes with him rl.
I wish you got to spend 10 minutes with all my kids, as they are tremendous!
Judge me by what you see, if you want...but, get to know me and judge me by who I am.
