Sweet Angel... I'd have to side with the Doc on this one. Your feelings are yours and you're entitled to have them regardless of what others have to say. While they may not understand them, they are YOUR feelings. The key to lasting friendships is unconditional love. That means that you're close friends will love you and care for you regardless of whether or not they understand your feelings or not. Granted it's easier when you can see eye to eye on these kind of things. I have friends that I don't agree with on every issue, but they respect me none the less. Misunderstandings happen. You're so very brave for attempting to both find and give forgiveness. That speaks very well of your character. I'm not trying to butter you up here, but I know how much these issues mean to you. The thing is that sometimes it's better to walk away. I don't know the ins and outs of what has happened between you and the others except that there havbe been hurt feelings. Sometimes feelings have been too hurt to continue a friendship. But the thing is that it doesn't have to end sourly. It's like a relationship. Look at me and Jenn. Too many things have happened to us to continue a relationship and when I move, I'll probablky never see her again. But we'll part ways on good terms... or at least try too. I hope I've said something worth reading here. Hell, I don't know. Anyway, that's my 2 cents.
