same. exactly. but you know what re: the truth those who matter, know AND those who DONT know DONT matter
as my C said. they aren't as close to the sitch as you. they know what they saw AND what they see now. they will make up their own minds.
i have had friends, joint friends, who recently when i have voiced my hurt about this have calmly responded - of course she is saying those things. she has to justify her actions to the world and herself.
Reality is me and my W HAVE encountered the same thing in a friends M. The H was outed for a year or so, basically labelled the bad guy, but then friends started disowning the W as a friend. In that case though he was the WAH, but she was crazy, still is, and nasty as a cut snake, even to her kids.
