Rob #9 - Don't Stop Believin'

[Rob1231]

Thanks for asking, Scott! W was very supportive and encouraging. She helped me think of, and contact, people to support me. She gave me great feedback on my speech and other campaigning efforts. And most of all, she was filled with her own righteous indignation over the way T treated me.

And she said that she was impressed that I had taken the high road - said she doubted she could have done that. (Note: Some people might interpret this as her thinking I was not being strong because I didn't 'attack back'. That was NOT how it was meant - she admired my integrity.)

The other day, I made a point to tell her that I appreciated how much she had supported me during this.

I also apologized because I felt the whole mess cut us off from some of our new social circle (me not helping make more friends for us was a hot button from the Old Days). She reassured me it was OK - said we DID make some new friends (including a couple who stepped forward just recently to encourage me during the mud slinging), and said we don't need the likes of T as friends.
