So I guess you may be the only person in the world to understand how I felt when a former co-worker told me that a group of 5 or 6 women from the school that I taught at went on an annual trip to the beach together. Now, I worked with them, babysat for them and not only was I never invited but I NEVER heard a peep about it! Not only that, but my closest friend of all knew they went and never told me either. She knew how hurt I would be not to be included so she joined in the silence. As far as I know, they are still vacaying together. There was nothing on FB except once. I also can't figure out why this person told me. I happened to run into her by chance. She had changed schools and I rarely saw her. It's like she was consumed with guilt of something. All I ever wanted was to be included in their group... I wish she had kept her mouth shut.
