I think

that there is no relationship on earth that withstands any kind of test.
My friendship with someone I hold near and dear has been destroyed by
1) my own pigheadedness and
2) the incessant spoiled rotten actions of another
and I still can't believe I was actually asked to tolerate the actions that I finally had enough of, and judged lacking when unwilling. Or that I thought I'd be the one that could stand up for her. And got put into the same position that others have been.
I feel dirty. *sigh*
I don't think there's anything I can do, well except grovel. *snerf* Like that's ever happened. And I wouldn't have to grovel to the injured party, but the "other" injured party. I'm not sure how that works. "Apologize to them and I'll be your friend."
*boggle*
So I guess I'll have to let go. I'm NOT happy about it, but I'm in a corner. I'm taking my ball and going home.

Addendum

After last night's post the cards called me. I'd been too tired etc to touch them, but last night I got a spurt of energy.
In a nutshell - let go and you gain peace and what you want.
*sigh* Not the easiest thing for an evil Leo with resentment issues.
