Guest guest Posted June 6, 2006 Report Share Posted June 6, 2006 ....speaking of 'encounters'... One of my 'best'? friends and her husband decided I wasn't really so sick...that I just didn't want to do housework anymore. I think she got this from 'her' perspective not mine cuz she never was the best housekeeper. My house was always cleaner than hers...so why not hit me when I'm low and my house has been messy cuz i've been really sick. Another point of hers... that if I was able to paint...I was able to sit in church. I heard this several times. They forget the part about getting dressed after taking a shower(already exhausted) then the drive to and from church and sitting in hard chairs. It also took me nearly five minutes to walk from getting dropped off to get inside and climb down stairs and find a chair. By the time I would get there I wanted to turn around and go home and go to bed. The good thing is that the people at my church are very understanding and compassionate and know that when I do get there it's been an ordeal. (She goes to my old church). I gave her the booklet.....But You Look Good..... and they laughed hardily at several passages in it. yup, they did. I never knew a friend could hurt me so much. They just took it all totally wrong...like I was saying I looked so good... which wasn't the point of it at all. The funny thing is that she has seen me in the ICU and hospital and I've been so sick I had to have a nebulizer and shots for pain. I have had to separate myself from her because of these constant hurtful things she says and now she's using 'that' to say more stuff about me. She is also a very competitive person. Once when I had lost alot of weight she asked me what I weighed and said ...well, I still weigh less than you. Jealous. Toxic. so I have had to keep my distance for my own sanity...which is so sad. I have come to accept weird doctors but the weird 'friends' is a bit harder. If I hadn't had this group over the years I wouldn't have had any friends at all. thanks for being there for me, too. hugs S. __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
