Well, here again....
I am still very upset over this incident that I witnessed...disappointed, shocked, hurt, and many more. I don't understand people!! They show you one face and everyone else another. They might as well be a poker player--they would never lose.
This "friend" had known my dad since 1991, worked for him, and after quitting still remained in contact. He was a my dad's funeral and was a pallbearer. He even pulled us aside and warned us against of who not to trust in the business. Over the years we have remained in contact with him--he even helped us money-wise by selling off some gun eqiupment to bring in additional money, while waiting on the ATF deal to fianlize. So, I don't understand it--or what his problem is. Last Friday, we saw him and he acted as if everything was just the same nothing new or changed. My mom was browsing on the internet and came across his name on a site and he had mentioned that his martial status has changed. His wife had left him. But he did not tell us that. The next morning I found a profile for him on myspace and decided to write him a note--just offering support.
It is now Thursday, and he has read the message...but not answered me. Very rude, selfish, and totally inconsiderate.
A part of me just wants to tell him that he made this choice to lie to me and you have lost yourself a friend. While another part of me--wants to rise above this arrogance and ignore the situation and not say a thing to him--let him find how hard life can really be with no "real" support.
I am very mad, hurt, and angry still. Its makes you think there was no real relationship, but lies. Nothing but lies. I have lost all respect for him, don't think of him as I used to--I used to look up. I used to and considered him a sound person for who I could go to for advice.
So, now...... another person I have the displeasure of removing from my life. My mom, that's a hard one as she doesn't really seem affected by it--and probably would talk to him.
Should I write a note explaining my decision?? Or just let him wallow in his high and mightyness??
