Welcome. So true. Well who cares what they think, you know the truth and she doesn't. Some people will never know the truth even if they lived it. My sister refuses to admit that our dad was an abusive drunk even though she saw me get beat every day. We had to split ways and I miss her very much, but she isn't living in reality and denies mine. At my dad's funeral hundreds of people were crying and telling me what a great guy he was, my cousins all thought the world of him. Duh. They didn't know him.
