What is it about some people who just have to take you down when you're on top of the world? It's easy to say, "don't listen to them" but it's not always easy to do. You know what I mean. You achieve something great, you move on with your life, you make a dramatic change, and they can't accept it. They're probably bored with their own lives and need to create drama in someone else's to feel alive.
Is it an Australian thing to do? I know we have the 'tall poppy syndrome' where we take someone down a peg or two if we think they're getting too big for their boots. Why can't we just live and let live. If you're not satisfied with your own life, grow a spine and change it instead of pulling someone down to your level.
I've experienced this in my own life. I am achieving things I never imagined and there's one person in my life who just will not say "well done". Everyone else has been extremely supportive and proud of me. So, I decided to listen to them, and not the naysayer. I encourage you to do the same. Find people who give you power, not take it away, and leave everyone else to their sad, lonely, unfulfilled lives. Pity them, they need it.
You are a beautiful person and wish I could pop in for a coffee. It's been 9 long years of battles with my ex.. When he is nice, I am happy to converse for the kids sake, then if something goes wrong or he gets shitty usually for pathetic reasons,he immediately turns nasty and says hurtful things. He has held money owed to me for ransom because I refused to speak with him on the phone yesterday about the kids, as I warned him toooo many times that I won't speak with him again. People's true colours really do come out when things like this happen, now I can't get my car fixed due to hom not repaying the money. Really petty but I won't be bribed anymore.. Anyway, love you heaps and thanks so much xoxoxoxoxox
