Thank you PhoenixJ. I guess it was ok. I really don't have that emotional connection to these people. I know it's not about the gifts, I only received one, but it's about the togetherness. I just know I really don't matter to them. I can go and play nice but that's the depth and it hurts not to have that deeper connection. To know these people lied and tried to bait me and that it really didn't matter to them.
