Have you ever received an e-mail that is mean, nasty and self righteous? I received one last week and I was shocked and very hurt to say the least.
I had been warned by many (mothers from school, family and friends) that this person is cold and superficial, but as usual, I believed that she was a good sincere honest Christian.
The e-mail certainly revealed her “true colours” and I wish I had listened to the many others.
The only good that came from the e-mail was the fact that she realized she will always be second best. She has now proven to me that she is not good enough.
The e-mail has unfortunately caused a lot of heartache, pain and damage that is irreversible.
It is rather sad because the relationship was once fairly amicable. Due to circumstances, I will have to be civil when our paths cross. I am hoping that over time I will learn to forgive but FORGET, I very much doubt it.
I have learnt to never send a e-mail or a sms in anger, because sometimes our emotions get the better of us. A little advice my husband has taught me, save your e-mail to draft and maybe in two or three days time read it and 99% of the time you will realize it is not worth sending.

Shame Leigh… and that is how you learn who your real friends are. Sometimes it is a painful journey, but worth it because you cannot afford to keep on spending energy on something toxic. You need to find out sooner, than later.
Chin up! You are amazing… she does not know what she is missing out on!

Thanks my friend for the kind words. Fortunately, she wasn’t really a “friend” more like an acquaintance.
