How about being good to you, splitimage? Acting like a good girl does not have to mean giving in to societal expectations.
It can also mean honoring your feelings...
Try and remember that guilt is a wasted emotion; it serves no purpose other than to drain us.
I agree with the others, especially Vickie's suggestion if it should come up about why you did not go.
It's your business and no one else's.
Take care of you.
In Peace
