Brushback Pitch: An inside, usually high fastball intended to force the batter to move away from the plate.

There's going to be some back story to this post, but it's going to be necessary for the topic. I only hope I don't bore you to death!

That's rough. You got caught in the middle- no use tearing yourself up over it, seems to me she is the one who lost friends. Hug and peace~~~D

Thank you Mousey.

First: Very well written and good use of the prompt.

Now: The fact that you have taken this to heart, are asking yourself if, in light of C's behavior, you are the right person to be in charge of your household proves you are the right person. Also, C is an adult and ultimately responsible for her behavior and her decisions.

In time the answers will present themselves, and if they don't, that is also an answer, Grasshopper. (Benevolent smile - and a wink)

First: Thank you very much. I am very much NOT a baseball fan.....so the prompt? Uhh.....yeah....

Now: I appreciate the support and wisdom. I have come further, mentally and emotionally, given time and reflection.

Hope time tidy- ups this mess. And please do not question yourself when you aren't at fault. *hugs* The prompt worked well here.

Thank you

That doesn't sound like a comfortable place to be in. When someone you love and trust goes that hard or cuts you off, it's one of the most jarring experiences. I'm sorry for your situation.

As a side note, I appreciated your mentions and explanation of the SCA. I used to go and stayed with an established household. It gave it a context for me, imagining those long time friends and if a sudden rift cropped up in their house.

Thank you. I think, in some ways, it's been hard because we have never been a large Household.....with so many members that you don't get to really *know* everyone. We're very small and intimate.

Oh that sucks :( I treat my FB like my internet living room; if someone were to come to my house and call someone else a "fucking twat" or whatever, I'd handle it a certain way. So, I delete comments every now and then, or warn people, but there's always that mess that happens when one is asleep or out having fun. People can do a lot of damage in a few hours. I hope this all works out for you in the end. You sound like a reasonable and thoughtful person, so don't resign your head status just yet ;)
