I've been reading here for years and your words and the person you are come no where near how that woman described you and your girls. And it seemed to just flow out, as if she'd done it before. Hmmmm. As a few of the others have said, it says everything about her and nothing about you. And as part of the older women brigade, I apologise on her behalf and hope she's hanging her head in shame. But somehow I doubt she is. Like you dad, I'm proud of you. Many people would have gone right off at her, you didn't, and again that speaks to the sort of woman you are. Stay that way. You're precious. xx<br /><br />Happy birthday. 🎏rhonda jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08962112306968959985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-36866942820415869412017-11-10T17:49:20.703+11:002017-11-10T17:49:20.703+11:00How embarrassing for her!!!!

This person obviously has issues, but still, this behaviour is unacceptable. You know in your heart that you are a good person and have raised beautiful girls and you mustn't let this experience get under your skin. I know that's easy to say because I would have reacted the way you did. Good on you for responding to her in such a dignified way. Hope you have a fabulous birthday and thoroughly enjoy your break.yellowtulip118@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07457341621335533009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-87790169121739783742017-11-07T05:37:28.152+11:002017-11-07T05:37:28.152+11:00There are some nasty people out there.

She was a foul person and had clearly attracted another nasty person as her companion. If they can behave like that to a stranger then how do they treat each other?

I just ...Have a wonderful birthday break away Kate.<br />I just wanted to say that I too had a similar situation on the school run home a few years ago, my little boy ran in front of someone and rather than say something she called him a brat so I pulled her up on such name calling! He hadnt hurt her in anyway or been rude he was just running like most other children when leaving school! (he was just 7 years old) her response was to spit abuse at me about how shite MY child was! I was furious, totally furious and for days/weeks after she and others hurled abuse and snarling looks at me for what I saw was standing up for my son! <br />I cried for days after with pure anger and just wanted to wrap my little boy up as he has enough to deal with in this big wide world.<br />Much love Deanne x Deannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275549503869515240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-35353134925066760712017-11-05T10:20:21.071+11:002017-11-05T10:20:21.071+11:00Happy birthday to you Kate, from one whose birthda...Happy birthday to you Kate, from one whose birthday it is right now in your country but is tomorrow in mine!! I truly feel your pain over your trauma last week. I am always teaching my children that others' actions and words towards us say nothing about us and everything about them. Likewise, the same goes for us. Your situation is truly that. What you have said, says everything about you and you should be proud of yourself. I am sure your family are mighty proud of you!

I would have reacted in the same way - stunned and having nothing to say straight away. I think the latter probably happened because you are a kind and gentle person, without that anger about life bubbling under the surface that so many people have. What a shame that there are people like that. It is so wonderful that you had your beautiful girls and your lovely Bren to turn to. I'm sending a big hug to you and kisses too for your birthday. Happy Birthday lovely lady. I am very intrigued about those lentils! Please do keep us posted about their growing journey. I love that stripy legged plant pot! And the comment from your Dad above (sorry, felt a little like I was eavesdropping with my eyes!) melted my heart. What an amazing family you have.

If I've done something wrong, I just think to myself that I'll do better next time. But when its an attack on character, you feel so powerless because it is core to your being.<br />A year ago, out of the blue, my best friend attacked my character so viciously, it left me in a broken state. (We no longer speak) Although it is clear that she was projecting her own personal issues, those sad feeling still show up from time to time. Luckily, over time, it shows up much less.Audryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13934284269652163977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-21323932101053200692017-11-04T07:44:20.096+11:002017-11-04T07:44:20.096+11:00I'm so sorry that happened, Kate.

Fabulous things to be happy and grateful for, love the little sexy leg pot and the flower in it (keep the pink) and the picture of you in Apple Valley is wonderful.

I am BIG fan of your blog. By the time ...Hi Kate, <br /><br />I am BIG fan of your blog. By the time I get your post here in Washington, DC it is usually early in the morning. Often it is the first thing I read in the morning. <br /><br />So i was particularly sad to read the start of today's post. Although I am not one to usually write the bloggers I read, I felt that this situation warranted a response. <br /><br />The horrible interaction with that woman, all those things she said, that was about her. Not you. <br /><br />I don't think you have to forgive her, I think you don't have to care. Why would you care what a stranger thought of you? All that stuff she said was about her, because she doesn't even know you. <br /><br />Don't give it another thought, don't worry about it. Because by doing so, you are only hurting yourself by bring these negative thoughts into your head. You are in the bloom of spring, ripe full of possibilities. Forget her and enjoy that. That is what she deserves, not a moment more of your time. <br /><br />I wouldn't normally give advice on bullies, but we have more than a few in my town right now. So I am on my way to expert status ;)<br /><br />Stay well and enjoy that your spring:)<br /><br /> Kate from Washington, DC USADetwiler Small Business Serviceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17753408996908551399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4573422992082776289.post-77452349965693298782017-11-04T03:24:41.600+11:002017-11-04T03:24:41.600+11:00Happy Birthday!

You have just broken down and shared tiny bits of that experience with us all. We can all take our little bit and throw it away. It’s no longer yours to think about and has been dissipated into minuscule pieces and gone. Move on Kate, it’s friends that count. Only you could call growing lentils cute that made me smile. Peppers cardigan looks super I’m sure she’ll enjoy wearing it.
