It stinks! I wish I had advice to give you too. But I don't. I think how I will deal with this right now is to ignore this but guard myself. I know I can't change how people think. Thankfully their opinion doesn't change what I do with Samantha. I struggle with forgiveness some of the time myself.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16207218379912152052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2523496292638018081.post-22467716644537926872011-11-14T06:32:56.901-05:002011-11-14T06:32:56.901-05:00Oh Jen...I'm SO sorry.

And ironically...I have been dealing with the SAME issue this weekend (just not with homeschooling). <br /><br />I wish I had solid advice to give you on how to handle it. But I'm muddling through it with you...trying to figure out the best way to deal with things. <br /><br />I know there are a few people who haven't gossiped but have said things that made it clear we need to have a boundary in our relationship. It makes me sad...because I wish we could have a deeper friendship. But we can't. <br /><br />Of course, we all make mistakes and there needs to be room for forgiveness. (totally preaching at MYSELF!) But I do think if there is a pattern there...it's a red flag. Start guarding your heart. <br /><br />...danielleDanielle https://www.blogger.com/profile/04484341169494632974noreply@blogger.com
