I just wish they'd picked a different time to pull this crap. Being on the same planet with them sucks enough right now and having to share a really special, happy occassion with them all and the negativity they bring to every setting just really really sucks.
This is an example of what my sponsor calls loading the gun before the event ever happens.
If I'm expecting the worst possible situation with others during the event, there's a good chance that is exactly what I will get.
That was a hard behavior/attitude to unlearn for me...it took years.
Go with your head held high and focus on your D5 and his activities for the evening! Celebrate his achievements!
Leave the negativity where it belongs....at their feet, not yours.
