I had a friend who insulted my son and grandchildren: said some rather ugly things about them, thankfully in their absence (she has no children). I was incensed and answered her in no uncertain terms. She told me that was the end of our friendship. that nobody had ever spoken to her like that in her life! I felt very upset by this but on reflection realised that she has often slagged off her friends to me behind their backs, and has fallen out with a number of neighbours & close family members. I haven’t seen her for a year but pass her house on my shopping trips and worry that I shall see her. I comfort myself that I am a forgiving person and am able to have a word with myself if I think I’ve upset someone. Evidently she can’t. I saw her husband and told him that Jan—e had had a rather extreme reaction to my remonstrating with her. He just said, “Tell me about it; I have to live with it.” Is that story any use to you AcornFairy? Some people don’t realise how hurtful their behaviour is, but perhaps they can’t help it.
