talk about me
ignore me
walk past me and do not speak
better yet, walk past me and mutter something ugly
talk about me behind my back to people I love
criticize my life, my weight, my parenting, my choices
but do not hurt my children
period
I do not enjoy seeing my children have their feelings hurt... I know that it is normal and expected over their lifetime. I know that some of their friends will be friends forever. I also know that some of their friends will move on. I know that they will say ugly things about people and that people will say ugly things about them. I understand that life will not always be a bed of roses for them. I also understand that even beautiful roses have nasty thorns
knowing all of this does not make it any easier when they are hurting
