I stood tall I smiled at them I talked to them and all it did was cause stress.

I got divorced and remarried and the talk was then about that and you know what ? I had enough I moved after nearly 10 years of the tall standing and smiling I gave in.

And it was the best thing I ever did.

I am stress free. Just the odd bit of spite because we are 'incomers' a term used for people not from around here but its minor and does not affect the children.
