I keep praying, and I have talked to some other people, and I now realize this is a sick woman with serious emotional issues, who does manage to function so this isn’t so apparent. But it’s because pretty obvious she’s not going to stop hating me or ever be reasonable: I am the target of a lot of displaced rage in her life. So I am going to keep praying and praying to let this go. The goal now is to forgive her knowing that she will always hate me, that her hatred is not reasonable, and there is nothing I can do. I can look at her as someone who has cancer, a sick person, but the cancer eats at her logic, and emotions. I’ll pray for compassion.

I am also making plans to not be around her as much as possible,(I don’t need to put gasoline on the fire) which is not so easy cause we run in the same circles. But I’ll just stay away for a while, and there’s other fun things to do anyway!
