And yeah, it bugs me that she doesn't *like* me because I really don't think I am such a terrible person  |
It sounds like you've reached out and have done the best you can. It might be hard to forgive & forget, but try not to let it eat you up inside! Separating yourself from such negative relationships, sounds reasonable and surround yourself with people that love and support you. It's their loss and maybe, hopefully, someday (even if takes a while) they'll realize that. Sadly some people will just never get it. I share your sadness
and will be keeping you in my thoughts. You're among friends here!
