Seems that way sometimes.

One true friend is worth two hands full of so called friends. Those back stabbers are mere acquaintances and were NEVER true friends. A true friend never crosses the line of good judgment and messes with your man, woman or child. They never gossip just to have their jaws flapping. Some folks thrive on talking about other peoples problems. Rather than pray for the person or lend a helping hand they waste time and precious breath discussing the situation. How much better to just their trap shut if they can't help a situation they should keep the pie hole shut abd the brain on idle.

Yes, happened to me years ago....doesn't it break your heart? I just hate it when people profess to be your friend and then go an do something really awful, I have to admit, it took me many years to even try an trust anyone, but you have to move on don't you, would be a very sad world if no body had at least a bit of trust in some people

Yes. My closest life long girlfriend has been doing a bit of that the past two years. Even her own sister sees a change in her since she became involved with a certain guy, but she doesn't see it and has made some serious accusations that will, one day, come back and bite her in the butt.

One time too many and it blew me totally away. So much so
that I planned and got satisfaction, which then blew her
away as well. And so much so, that her hubby had to call me
and yell at me through the phone and swear. But my revenge
was just too sweet and I didn't even care. LOL I hold my
friendships close and have always been a caring and loyal
friend to others, and I expect the same.

Yes, it's sad when people are not what they seem. I learned long ago in life, there are some things I just don't share with others. Sadly love can fade and friendships dissolve. Then all that was in your heart, can be there for the world to see. I'm sorry for whoever hurt you.

Funny you would ask that!!
My step-mother 10 yrs older than me passed away after being married to my Dad for 20+ yrs. My sisters and I all loved her dearly we actually called her the 'saint' because of all the BS she put up from my Dad.
Well lo and behold she was nothing more than a lair & a thief!!!!! When my Dad signed HIS house (bought before marriage) into her name 45 days after the his severe stroke it was only to not lose it because of a nursing home. He never went into a nursing home.
10 Yrs have gone by and now she dies (she was 20 yrs his junior) cancer with in 7 mo. of diagnosis.
Now I have found out she has been robbing him blind for close to 15 yrs and has 45K of credit card debt!! she also left the entire house & contents to HER only son ( not blood to my Dad).
I was giving her $600 a mo for 4 months to help for a caretaker.
I & my sisters are so blown away. She left nothing at all for my Dad who has been supporting her for all these yrs. He has a handsome pension & SS checks. She made NO arrangements for my Dad and left me holding the bag. My Dad hasn't even seen a Dr since Jan and she has not given him his meds (cholesterol, diabetes, heart!!)since Oct 23,2007. Guess she was trying to kill him.
This has been heart breaking and shocking to us. She was sending between 700 & 1000 every month to a saving account number only in her & her sons name. In 1995 she sent 13,000 one month and 6,500 another month. It's only been 2.5 weeks since she died so I'm sure this will get much worse.
Can you believe this??????

There are so many people at there that act like they care about you to your face. Then, any information you might have shared with them, they use it for gossip or to stab you in the back. I would love to have a true friend!

Just once, at a job. By the time I found out what was going on, I had several deep gashes. Never saw it coming and it taught me to be a lot more wary, sad to say.

I hope not. In such a case, the one you see isn't really a friend.
I don't easily form attachments, but I have become fond of many of the folks here, and I'd hate for anyone to be spiteful to any of you.

This happens to all of us. I don't know of anyone who has been exempt.
But, with wisdom, we learn to chart our paths around these poor people. They are poor, you know, don't have enough to fill their lives.
But, in the long run, we learn from them and then, are not so easily taken in the next time. It's part of growing up, regardless of age.
