I actually sent an e-mail to another blogger recently stating that I have been working to do some "emotional decluttering" and have very quietyly severed ties with acquaintenaces that have been emotionally taxing. <BR/><BR/>Their negativity has been so taxing and they consistantly live in "crisis" mode that I was weary from being their emotional caregiver. I don't mean to be coldhearted but at some point these so called friends need to realize that I am not just their personal place to dump their emotional toxic waste. <BR/><BR/>Sorry to be so harsh but I would encourage other adults to assess their friendships in the manner that you described. It is quite liberating.Candid Carriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11421804696146084068noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-955793709046493712.post-12657183246916811892008-11-10T09:31:00.000-05:002008-11-10T09:31:00.000-05:00It sounds like you had a wonderful weekend!

Or is that a blog post for another day?<BR/><BR/>I read Carrie's post on Madeline Rose, and naturally cried my eyes out! She's a sure winner, right?
