I have a big gaping hole in my heart...

**kimmee** · 10-10-2004, 11:59 PM

I wanted to get through the night without sharing it - but it is all I can think about... of all the things I kno wabout me I have never turned my back on anyone or put any child injeopardy - suddenly a story about me that is not even close to the truth and was way misrepresented is out and I am being blacklisted in my little town by the other parents yet I am the parent that is always "god enough " to pick up other peoples kids or watch them while their parents go to town or keep them over night when their parents are in a "bad" way. I am so tired of crap and gossip, I am sooo tired of being the scapegoat, I am sooo tired of kids coming to me to talk about very personal things that they can't talk to anyone else about and then telling me that there mom doesn't like me and they are not supposed to talk to me... I hurt so deeply that I could run away screaming and I don't even know what i have done. Thankyou for listening and I am sorry to have burdened you with this. I am not looking for anything - I am just hurting.

Kimmee!!!!

Oh Kimmee. I'm so sorry you're having a bad time of it right now. Other people's opinions of us can cut so deep but please remember that these are people passing judgement only b/c its easier to blame someone else. If they rely on you for helping them out then why bite the hand that feeds you. You know we're here for you if you need a shoulder hon. Stay strong....gossip passes as soon as it feasts its eyes on something newer.

Oh no Kimmee. I hope that this gossip goes on to something else soon. It's so terrible when a little town gets to doing something like this. You vent anytime you need to. We're always here!

People can be so cruel Kimmee, you know that you haven't done anything wrong so just ignore what they are saying about you. I know it is hard but just remember you have lots of friends at the village who will always be here with a shoulder to cry on.

You know what they say... "Believe none of what you hear, andonly half of what you see." Hopefully this will all blow over soon.

I am so sorry that you are the victim of someone's malicious lies and gossip. I hope you can get to the root of this. It would be hard living in a small town if people believed this about you.

**gkp1031** · 10-11-2004, 08:47 AM

I'm sorry your hurting Kimmee. Small town gossip is terrible, I'm from a small town myself. Some people have nothing better to do with their time than to think of nasty things to say about other people, shame on them. Keep your head high, be strong and this will pass. We're here for you

**mrscornbread** · 10-11-2004, 09:00 AM

Hang in there kiddo, it will pass, gossip and lies always do.

**Dixie** · 10-11-2004, 09:33 AM

There's nothing worse than small town gossip.

Oh Kimmee, what can I say? Alot of people in our small town have said really hateful, hurtful things about us too. Yet all of the kids seem to come to us when they have problems. They say we are the only ones they can talk to who won't make them feel worse than they already do.

Hang in there, knowing that you've touched a childs heart and have gained their confidence.

**Jayne** · 10-11-2004, 09:43 AM

I'm so sorry they are doing this Kimmee.

**pita1213** · 10-11-2004, 10:45 AM

those big old meanie heads!!! no picking on our kimmee is allowed!

they should be glad that someone trustworthly is looking out for their kids and is willing to talk to their kids when the kids dno't feel comfortable talking to their parents. at least they are still talking to an adult!

hang in there sweetpea!
