Longevity of acquaintance is not a license to be disrespectful or mean. We let relatives treat us in ways that we'd have co-workers fired for. We let friends harass us in ways that we'd slap a stranger for attempting.<BR/><BR/>I do less of that now. I have decided that life is too short and that I do not have time in my life for people who will not treat me with respect and dignity. I try to treat everyone else that way, but I'll take nobody's cast-offs or second-hand shit.<BR/><BR/>I bet you can think of other friends who have not treated you badly. Perhaps you should focus your efforts and attention on nurturing the relationships that nurture you.Dawn Fortunehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14722591049949538021noreply@blogger.com
