Drama, unfortunately, will always be apart of our community...because of the diversity of the members, our interactions, and various contributing factors. There's a saying by Max Lucade that rings so true, "Conflict is inevitable...but, Combat is optional."Wow, don't get on the boards for a while and see what you miss!
The way I've dealt with past drama is by taking responsibility...for my share of the blame...for the things that I have may done wrong...or in handling a situation badly, then making my apologies.
Getting through the HURT and DISAPPOINTMENT...that I experienced...from being betrayed and slandered...was by offering FORGIVENESS, and going forward.
We can make ourselves as miserable as we want, or change our way of thinking...to become a more positive, and happier person.
I wish that for you Malaya, but more than that...happiness that you so richly deserve. At the end of the day...we all have to be good with the decisions we make.
Your TRUE friends will NEVER steer you...in the wrong direction...no matter what price they may have to pay...to help you down that road.
Hope you start to feel better and get the rest you need!

With that being said, Malaya you and I have had a few little disagreements in the past, but I wish you nothing but the best. I may be able to help with your ex finding a job and some other things as well. Call me if you still have my number. Actually, I'm not sure if you ever had it so I'll pm it to you with what I'm doing and see if I can help or not. I hope you and yours have as good of a Christmas as possible.
