Julie, you are not guilty of triangulation. You've vented the truth or set the record straight. That is normal. You may be doing it too much, which is causing you to worry. If your conscience is speaking up, be aware and slow it down. Photoka' s suggestions were really good.
Triangulation is manipulative and evil. It is not a mistake. It is a deliberate choice to make someone look bad so that you look good to another party with the intention of harming someone else in some way. The phrase "smear campaign" jumps to mind. Purposefully making someone else look bad to others so that you look great in comparison and to turn events in your favor. It is done with malice.
BT...you make a very good point, and I'm happy you chimed in when you did. "Going numb" is the path to depression. No wonder it was my first instinct! I don't want to follow that path again. I'll use this opportunity and learn to work my way through it. Thanks so much for your thoughts on that.
