We could not understand why some people (often family), no matter how kind you are to them, just do not like you. We came to the realization that often the stage has been set before you even come on the scene and you don't stand a chance against malicious gossip being said behind your back. Sometimes that person is jealous of your looks, accomplishments, possessions, etc. and you are helpless in defending yourself. They spread their gossip about you to others and soon you find others drawing away. I still do not know how to best deal with this sabotage other than to find loyal and trusting people who love you for who you are. But it still hurts to know you have been shunned by people whom you thought were your friends and the damage, sadly, is irreparable. Sometimes all it takes is one unkind/untrue remark, ie. "She thinks she is better than everyone else" and people run with it, without taking the time to get to know you because unfortunately the seed of gossip has already been planted.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16958755561832016153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794003589871580138.post-2899528987912288462015-07-21T17:59:58.213-07:002015-07-21T17:59:58.213-07:00Again, another incredible article on Parents with ...Again, another incredible article on Parents with estranged adult children.
