Just an update to all who have ever participated in this thread. I ran into her this Christmas at the therapy office. I hugged her and wished her a Merry Christmas, She had ignored me as usual, but I went out of my way to be nice to her. I was dressed up all in red and feeling good today and I would not her negativity bring me down. She may hate me now even more. But that can't be helped. I feel awkward a bit, but it really warmed my heart to hug her. The way she looked at me when I left looked disheveled and lost, like I just shook her world.

I had no idea the impact I could make on people.
