Thank you for your words of encouragement. While her words tore me up inside or cource I felt like letting her have it. But then I stopped and thought about how in the last week or so I've been trying to pray to God to help me with this sickness and if I showed out and told her off I think it would chase Him away. I know from in the past when people have hurt me (I'm very sensitive) I would relive the event over and over. The thoughts wouldn't leave my mind and I wouldn't be able to sleep. It would eat me up inside. Yet what good would it do to say anything to her? She wouldn't care or else she wouldn't have said those things in the first place. It would only cause me more problems in my marriage and give me more hate to hold on to. It takes a lot of energy to hold on to past hurts and hold on to resentment. That would only prolong my healing. I'm trying to let go of past baggage, not take on anymore. Thank you both for your words of encouragement to help me see the right thing to do. Love, CeK
