I used to be married to this guy and I was surrounded by this group of people. At that time they seemed like great people but then my husband and I split. Well now this certain group of people are spreading rumors about me. Friends that I looked up to and helped. Put it this way they were more friends with my ex you can say than me but still I had a good communication with all of them.
Well now they are saying that I am a slut that I am lazy, that I don't take care of my children, that I abandon them to go to the bar. I am out of this circle and I am looking on the outside of these people. I can not believe it!! After me and my husband then they stopped communication with me as well , that's when the rumors started. I have been divorced 3 years. I have had 1 boyfriend. My kids are #1 in my life and my job. It's hard to believe that people your friends go all the way out to try to ruin your life. sometimes I just wanna say something, but I don't because I know that I don't need to stoop low like they do.
Sometimes I feel like it's hard to trust someone because I think they are just gonna be like the rest of them. I guess I will never know until someone says something right? What's the best way to just keeping it real?
I think you already are doing what you should be doing and leave it alone... You are the only person that can truly judge yourself... To me it seems like you know the type of person you are and you know what your priorities are... If you let everything that other people say about you, bother you, you are destined to lead a very unhappy life... If I were you I would limit your involvement with these people who once called themselves your friends and focus on the positives in life.
You have your kids and your job to focus on, the best way to show people up that are speaking badly about you is to better yourself and take your life to the next level and kill them with kindness... If they continue, at least your conscience is clear... I will say it again only you can judge you...
