I'm sorry this didn't turn out the way you had hoped Barbara. But, I think it's made you stronger inside. This has been heavy on your mind for some time now and I can honestly say I feel you being more upbeat and positive. :hug:

Thank you BJ. I do feel better.

Next time someone says something to upset you. Just let them
know. If they want to continue use a phrase I give my parents
in heated discussions with schools.

We are just going to have to agree to disagree on this.

In the case of my parents then I say, you also tell the school if
they want to fight about this. Then the meeting is over till
they are ready to agree with you. And then wait for a answer.

So maybe to a friend or so. You could say.

We need to just agree to disagree about this situation.

And if you can't do this and drop it. Then we will part ways, or
stop the phone call. And talk when we can not let this be a issue.

It is upsetting me.

Thank you Donna,

Good idea.
