Friends or Foes

Clearly the wound is still very much present for you. I think at this point in your life, it's time to let it go. Most children are mean. It's sad, but it's true. And many times people (children) don't realize how much they are hurting someone at that time. It's about the "fun of it" all. How do you know they (those who hurt you) are not ready to apologize? You won't know until you let them in... I believe in giving a person an opportunity to redeem themselves (of course if the injustice is forgivable...some things may not be forgivable to some...jury is still out on that one for me). Holding on to old wounds eats at the soul...set your soul free. Why not tell them how you feel or felt back then. I'd think you'd be surprised by the responses. The thing with facebook is that although you are "reconnecting" with so many from your past, you have the control to hide, delete, unfriend, etc. etc. Open the door, let folks in, express how you feel, but more importantly...HEAL! ;-)

Be well

when a person break their friendship over a disagreement and dont want to talk to you ever again then that not a friend

I had a colleague who I thought I was friends with only to find out she has been badmouthing me on my campus to my white colleagues and to other black academe types. I hope she rots in hell. She is leaving to go to another campus. Good riddance.

I feel that if someone hurt you in the past, it is possible they could still be the same way, What is the friendship worth to you. Some people are just better keep at a distance and that's the truth. Define friend , if the person does not fit the description then you know the rest" next"
