I know that you read my blog.  Yeah you....you know who you are.  I know that you read because your reading what I write here is what kicked this all off.

You say that your feelings are hurt because I wrote about you. Did you ever stop to think that your actions hurt MY feelings, and that was why I wrote about them?  Do you not see that this blog is like my journal; that I vent here?   Do you not understand that I don't say anything here that I wouldn't say to your face? 

You say that I wrote awful, horrible things about you.  You know that's not true.  I wrote about what you did and said, and I wrote about how that made me feel. I've had the other parties involved look at what I wrote, at what you claim to be so maliciously vindictive, and they don't see anything but truth there.  No lies, no fabrications....just the facts.  I never said you were horrible, in fact I said numerous times how much you meant to me.  If you didn't mean anything to me, if I didn't care about you, then your actions wouldn't have hurt my feelings.  But, you're choosing to ignore all the positive things I said and focus on what you perceive to be negative. 

You're acting like you're the one who has been wronged here.  What you're failing to see is that I was the one that was wronged, and that's what led me to vent about it.  Surely you can understand why I was hurt...why I still AM hurt?  Ask yourself this: how would YOU have reacted if we had done to you what you did to me?  Would you have been hurt?  I think that you would have.

Your silence does you no favors.  You see, there are more people affected by this than you and I...and they'll be the ones to eventually suffer, not us. 

I'm trying to be adult about this....but I think that what you're expecting is an apology on my part, and you're not going to get what you want.  I'm not sorry for how I feel, and I'm not sorry for what I wrote.  It bothers me that you got upset, it bothers me that your feelings are hurt - but just as I had to deal with and get over my hurt feelings, so you are going to have to get over yours.  That's the only way we're ever going to come to some kind of resolution.   We have to talk about this, work through it, and move on.

I can do that.  Can you?
