Ex-Friend Is Going Insane?

[Firefly Flame]

Maybe she's jealous of you, maybe she felt like you were a snob, maybe she thought she had to talk garbage about you to make herself look cool to her new friends, I don't know. Doesn't matter. She's not worth your time. It hurts to lose a friend, and it hurts when people think badly of you or tell lies about you. But it happens. People can be jerks. Don't stoop to her level. Rise above it, ignore her behavior and do your thing with the horses. Trust me, if you can learn to ignore people who aren't worth it and let go of dumb crap, the better off you'll be. If she starts creating problems for you at the barn, don't hack her Facebook, don't call her. Consider taking it up with someone in charge (the owner or manager of the stable?). Don't go into detail -- "she said, and then I said, and then she said..." -- keep it simple. "I seem to have upset her. I don't know why. I love working with the horses here and don't want things to get out of hand. What can I do?" Good luck.
