Sometimes a person we care alot about, can hurt us; then turn it around to try and convince us that we did it to them.
I learned to be careful about what I say and do, never let my guard down and get too comfortable with someone, and also to be honest from the start.

nursie76 05-02-2010 05:24 PM

I am sorry you have been hurt. You are right, honesty from the start is always the best.

amma 05-02-2010 05:29 PM

So sorry this has happened to you (((HUGS)))

lfw045 05-02-2010 05:30 PM

I can feel what you are going through. Hugs and prayers to you.

Maride 05-02-2010 05:45 PM

Sometimes the problem is that as you get comfortable you start to be open and honest and the smallest thing you say can be turned around and changed into the total opposite. Have you met my In-law family? I thought you were talking about them.

sewgull 05-02-2010 05:52 PM

Sorry someone that you trusted hurt you. Wounds are are to heal. Just move on, I care about you.

CarrieAnne 05-02-2010 06:20 PM

Aw, sending you a HUG! Sorry you are feeling bad!

cjomomma 05-02-2010 06:35 PM

I know ppl like that so I have distanced myself from them. Sorry you had this happen to you. Hope you get to feeling better about it, atleast you know the truth.

bearisgray 05-02-2010 06:50 PM

It does feel like a kick to (the female equivalent of you-know-what).

If you know you played fair, that person's loss.

Been there, done that. Not fun. My feelings are still bruised.

JanetM 05-02-2010 06:59 PM

(((Hugs))) I am so sorry your feelings have been hurt. Spend some time with us until you feel better, because we all care.

granniebj 05-02-2010 07:04 PM

It hurts so much when its someone you really care about! I'm sorry someone has betrayed you like that! I'm sure you have alot of caring friends, and just know that you can lean on them.
hugs

Mamaw I am sorry this has happened to you. I know that feeling and it is not pleasant. IMHO there is no room for anything but homesty.

Huge Hugs to you.

shaverg 05-02-2010 08:14 PM

I'm sorry it happened to you. I also know how it feels.

{{{{Hugs}}}}

BellaBoo 05-02-2010 08:21 PM

Honesty is always best. I hope you can feel better about the situation soon.

littlehud 05-02-2010 08:56 PM

It sounds like you have been hurt. I'm so sorry.

sharon b 05-02-2010 09:25 PM

Sadly that is why I have a hard time trusting people, and the worse part was it was "family" members :?
So sorry, I know how much it hurts

ForestHobbit 05-02-2010 10:00 PM

It is sad that we have to be careful what we say just because someone else twisted something we have said. I believe all of us have had that happen. My prayer for you today is that you feel safe enough to be yourself with us. I am so sorry you have been hurt. Am sending you HUGS!

joy 05-02-2010 10:35 PM

I know exactly what you mean... she will never darken my doorstep again... ever !!!

ranger 05-03-2010 02:40 AM

I'm sorry that this happened to you. I've been there and know how it feels.

CarolinePaj 05-03-2010 02:56 AM

So sorry you were hurt! You are right honesty is always best, but trusting somebody wholeheartedly is wonderful!

Sometime we find the right person with whom we can share everything.... and even if you hurt them, they would never use the things you have shared to hurt you. I know... I am lucky enough to have found one!

Hugs

Caroline

Same here! :|

raptureready 05-03-2010 04:46 AM

We've all been through things like this and it hurts. I'm sorry it happened to you but whatever you do, don't hang onto it. Forgive the person and get on with your life. Hurts are heavy and the weight of carrying them around will eventually drag you down especially if you're carrying multiples. Let it go! If the other person won't allow the rip in the relationship to be mended, then walk away and forget about it knowing that you've done what you could to fix it.

Jingle 05-03-2010 05:54 AM

I try to limit my contact with people, I'm more at ease in my sewing room.

amandasgramma 05-03-2010 06:25 AM

Forgive!!! Many, Many years ago i apparently said something to my dear friend. To this day, I don't know what I said. She hasn't spoken to me in 30 yrs. I feel sad I lost such a good friend....but then, would a friend be a good friend if they don't open up and tell me what I said???? or even QUESTION whether I said it. {{hugs}}to you....hope you have a better day.

The same thing happened to me last year. I have no idea what I did, but that is her problem. It's always a kick in the stomach when someone we trust turns on us. I have found that if I pray for them, it helps me.

So sad, especially when there is no need. Sending you hugs.

Gramof6 05-03-2010 07:27 PM

This just keeps playing across my mind. I really am sorry that this has happened to you & that you are hurt. I sure am. It's happened to me by what I thought were friends. Even though you are hurt & sad, you need to see that they really were not caring of you or your feelings. I hope you will heal and let those that do care, help you to heal and trust again. Try just letting it go & let God help you through it, so that you can move forward. It is apparent that you have a lot of folks here that care deeply for you.

HUGE HUGS

Hugs Hugs

I understand, my hubby and I helped a lady out about 4 years ago, long story and now she doesn't want to be friends.

Live and learn!

Take care!

sweet 06-17-2010 04:59 PM

Take care of yourself. Find some way to laugh smile and dance, you might feel a tiny bit lifted.

MadQuilter 06-17-2010 05:12 PM

Sorry you got hurt. Just don't hang on to emotional negativity. It will only hurt you more in the long run. I always try to remember that I can't control other people, but I can sure try to control myself.

aliaslaceygreen 06-17-2010 06:20 PM

So sorry, BTDT have the T-shrit....but keep your heart open...don't let the turkeys get you down...

crawford1219 06-17-2010 07:13 PM

I know how you feel-just had this exact thing happen with me last week with my mother who has always been a chaos creator and with my grandparents whom I have always looked up to and adored. They said some really hateful things to me that were extremely hurtful. I never expected my grandparents to feed into her drama and be like that.

quilting memaw 06-18-2010 04:56 AM

I'm sorry for your hurt. I to know what it is like. And it's always those of us who have the biggest hearts that get hurt.....Soft Hugs!

granniebj 06-18-2010 06:17 AM

Your so right! I'm so sorry someone has hurt you. Just remember there are people out there who will go out of their way not to hurt anyone (like you), and those who do the damage aren't worth our tears.

pstoner 06-18-2010 06:46 AM

omg, Do I ever know exactly how you feel. There is nothing worse..."the worst thing about being lied to, is knowing you weren't the truth" (author unknown)

julia58 06-18-2010 08:08 AM

So sorry this has happened to you, sending lots of hugs your way. Some people just don't care about other peoples feelings. Sometimes life is cruel.

joy 06-18-2010 03:16 PM

Be strong.....

lab fairy 06-18-2010 08:34 PM

I know it hurts. Sometimes what comes out of my mouth comes across very differently than what I meant to say. I think my mother-in-law is still mad at me. I was telling her that I told my new son-in-law that he should be happy they live a few hours away. Family is nice but having your mother-in-law (I was referring to myself) too close might be more than he wanted. She got really upset and asked if I really felt that way about mother-in-laws. (Well, yes, but I was trying to get him to understand that moving away from family can be a good thing. Of course, I don't want to live really close to my Mother either.)

I hope you get a resolution. Sometimes just giving yourself a little time to let it out, eat some great chocolate, and read a book will help a lot.
