You Could Have Blown Me Over With A Feather  

I've never had anything quite like you have, but I'm glad you are beginning to get it worked out.

Hey pye! That is such wonderful news! I am so happy for you
that you were finally able to straighten things out with Linda!
I know how much it bothered you to not be able to say what
you want to that day and how badly you felt being attacked by
her when you knew that she was wrong and needed to explain
things to her about your mother! I am glad that you two were
finally able to get things out in the open and she gave you
the opportunity to say what needed to be said! I don't blame
you for wanting to do the "happy dance"! You deserve it! Your
mother's ghost doesn't need to haunt you now too! She did
enough damage while she was here on earth! You should feel
so much better and relieved that this happened the way it
did today! Timing is everything!

Yes, I have had similar experiences when I divorced, and my ex spread many untrue rumors. I live in a small town, so many business and other people heard these rumors. I didn't address them, didn't pay any attention. As the months went by and we each lived our lives (he and I), the truth could be seen! People started speaking to me again, and even saying they knew what I'd been through and were so happy at how I had dealt with it.

Happy feet, here, too :D

I remember reading that topic and I'm glad to hear that things turned out so well! I can't remember the last time that I had a resolution this good but I know it makes me very happy when things turn out better than I expect and am sure you are very pleased! Congrats!

Glad to hear you straightened out things with Linda.

HI Pye;, Well that's some good news for a change huH?? I bet you did do a
"HAPPY FEET DANCE" LOL!! I can just sorta picture you doing that too (G)!

Hopefully you will see her again and can even more of a detailed discussion and really get it all out in the open and settled;

I'm glad it all worked out for you this time around when seeing her;

hang in there!!!

I'm glad she apologized. And it was also big of you to accept her apology.

wow-that's rare to get an apology.doesn't excuse her for lashing out because of her own problem though.ah well..lil' steps,i guess

yea,i've been in a one sided fight with somebody about 4 1/2 years now.
it is one sided,though they think it's two.i'm not apologizing-he's wrong,and being paranoid to boot.the spouse has probably always hated me when i look back on it.
so,i guess i'm an "enemy" til further notice.

big dose of whatever at this point,y'know.it's just sad.

Yes, I have that happened. In fact it went so well that I can't tell you what was the beef. But it did work out great and I didn't have to explain too much , as I remember.it is great when all well that ends well.

I'm SO glad you had the chance to sort out the misunderstanding with Linda, Pye. I thought it was horrible at the time to have someone think bad (and untrue) things about you - and it's great to know Linda obviously had other things on her mind at the time, and was probably just blowing off steam. It's an excellent feeling when you can put things straight - I was very, VERY happy when my daughter decided to speak to me again after three years' silence - and I definitely DID do a Happy Feet dance in my head, if not on the ground!
