I would just like to end this thread by saying that I'm very fortunate to have wonderful friends whom I love a lot. These are the people who are important to me, and aren't like the ones described in this thread.
Life is too short to waste time with these issues I have raised here. I consider it to be a problem they have to deal with and not me. I have found, at this point in my life, that there are certain negatives and stresses we all have which are out of our control. But those things that we can control, I step away from.
