Just remember that they are looking for ways to push our buttons. Attention, whether it is positive or negative is what they crave. They are miserable individuals and what better way to get to us and make us just as miserable as they are...by flaunting the op in our faces or out in public for others to bring the stories back to us.
I agree w/the other posters...the more you remain stable, confident and happy, the more confused they get. They don't want us to be kind and compassionate towards them and they can't understand why we aren't raving lunatics just like them.
Sit quietly, the answers will reveal themselves when you least expect them to. The past is gone, the present is a gift and you need to focus on today, allow the future to reveal itself when it is ready.
