I have thought long and hard about why they might do this, about their reasoning for being such total bitches.
The impression that they seem to give is that they're perfect. They wear designer-name clothes, they have the newest vehicles, they have immaculate houses with big screen TV's and new furniture......to them, it's all about image. Who they are is defined by what they've got, not by their persona. I'm just not like that. I never have been like that. I'm not perfect, I make no attempt to appear perfect. I'm different. They don't like 'different'.
They also have this attitude that if you're not their 'friend' then you're the enemy. I'm not like that either. I refused earlier this year to get involved in a silly dispute, and it was after that that all this crap started. Just because I don't come out swinging for them, because I prefer to mind my own beeswax and remain neutral, I'm automatically the enemy. To them , there is no grey, the world is all black and white.
So, I'm the enemy to them because I'm different from them, and because I'm a grown up.
You know, I want, if and when we leave, to go around to their houses, knock on the door and say "Hi! I'm leaving, now, and I just wanted you to know that I think you're a total fucking cunt and that I'm just sad that I won't be around to see the bad karma you've created catch up with you! I hope someone makes your life as miserable as you tried to make mine, you fucking bitch! Buh-bye now!" Lonesome says it's not a good idea. I know it's not a good idea, but it would be soooooo satisfying!
Btw, I don't drop the 'c' word very often. Someone has to have really pissed me off before that word gets used. These idiots though...are thoroughly deserving of it.
