This is a short rant. A few months ago my cousin left her husband of 19 years and moved with her daughter into the upstairs apartment of my house. Her reasons are her own, more than sufficient and include mental and verbal abuse to both her and her daughter. Her ex is a well liked person in their town as he puts in a different face in public than he does at home.
It is necessary for her to conduct business in her former town about five miles away on a near daily basis. She frequently meets people she had known for years and is frequently snubbed in one way or another. As an example this morning while in the grocery she met up with someone who I will call Susan. Susan had been close enough to my cousin that Susan's young children ran up to my cousin and hugged her when they saw her. Susan on the other hand spoke not a word, gathered her kids and went down another aisle. Incidents like this have happened on many occasions with different people and although my cousin is putting on a brave front and says it is alright and it does not matter I know this hurts the heck out of her.
I can't control how people act but I am at a loss to understand why people are such a$$es. Some of the same people are the same with me because I am helping her and I REALLY don't care. Ideas thoughts and suggestions on how I can help her realise that these people are not worth anything.
