Time for a truce.

Dear Dear-Jane-Letter-Lady,

I’m not sure why but for the past week or so you have been on my mind. I have kind of hit a point of recognizing that if I push you to not be involved with the Homeschool group I am blocking you from access to most of the home schooling families who live within a twenty-five minute drive of your house.
I don’t feel very good about doing that to your kids for the rest of their childhood. That would make me a very bad and a very selfish person. I don’t really want to be that kind of person.
I don’t think this is going to be any kind of comfortable any year soon. But I’m ready to try and get over my end of being hurt.
I don’t think you were trying to hurt me. When I asked you to not be part of this group I wasn’t trying to hurt you, either–I was trying to feel safe. In the end… we are both hurting one another any way. Maybe the only way to stop feeling hurt is to stop hurting someone else in retaliation.
Maybe.
If you would like to rejoin the Meetup group and come to events I will be polite. I don’t think I will manage friendly any year soon but I can do civil. Mostly I will probably be quiet.
I don’t think you have a reason in the world to trust me. But your kids are going to need friends. The kids in this group are really neat. I’m sure your kids would enjoy knowing them.
Krissy
