Okay - I know that this may sound a little silly, but I was out shopping with my 3 year old last week, when I spotted my  ! I have severed all ties for my own good, so I started to panic. I am a little embarrassed to say that I stayed in the fitting room an extra few minutes just to make sure that I did not have to deal with her! She has had consultants and directors call and leave me all kinds of messages. She even showed up at a location that she knew I go to every week a couple of months ago just to find out what I really wanted to do with my MK business. I have not returned any phone calls or emails, because I have just needed some time to recover from the MKitis that I have suffered from for 6 years! Am I crazy, or is it okay to avoid interaction with her and other pink clones? They all say that they regret my decision to step back, but I am starting to get over the guilt and feel human again - any advice? bounce |

You are right to hide. LOL It's for your own well-being, so don't feel guilty. I hide in the dressing room if I see obnoxious people I don't want to talk to - let alone a KAYBOT who's trying to bully me!  |

HECK NO!!!! I'll smile nicely if our eyes meet but I usually avoid eye contact--and so does she. I did learn, though, to not talk bad about her because the negativity only reflected on me rather than her--in spite of the lies she spewed forth. Everyone felt sorry for her because her hubby had walked out on her. She remarried on 1 July this past year and coincidently has stepped down as a director... I knew things were changing when she didn't go to Seminar after building it up like normal...  |

I think you did the right thing. I know I would do the same thing. I think they regret your decision because they are not getting $$ from your orders. I'm glad you are moving on with your life. Feeling human is great, isn't it?  |

Don't feel badly! I have limited interaction with my director (mostly the occassional e-mail) and when she says "let me know what I can do to help you with your business", I typically respond to everything except that line. Hope this helps!

Yesterday was a fun day at church--NOT... My son has to be there early to help set up the Sacrament. He usually sets his scriptures down in the very same bench/row week after week. (We kinda have unofficial "assigned" rows. No one actually assigns them, families just sit in the same place, week after week after week.) When I came in to sit down, guess who was sitting in the row behind us?  Yeah. That was uncomfortable. |

YUCK Snoopy Laura! At least I had the option of going the other direction. The sad thing is I really adore my as a person, but when the tweed suit comes out - it is a totally different world. I know that I am soooo much better off to cut off contact until I am at least mentally recovered from the things that I was exposed to and the way I was encouraged to treat other women. I would have to pray for lots of courage if I had to face my previous MK world every week! |

I hide all the time unless it can't be avoided. Like being in the garden center in Walmart and there's no fern big enough to hide behind!
I've done extra laps through the auto/hardware sections of Walmart before because I saw a director that I did not and still don't have the warm and fuzzies for. She had a friend with her and they were wearing similar outfits, I'm not stupid, I know what that means. It means that I would have been made an example of in my sweat shirt and jeans as a big ol' quitter!
Of course there was just this last weekend at the Little League parade with my 3 year old. I avoided my old sr. sd like the plague! This is when hubby tells me that he tried to do me a favor and take out a pink caddy! I started laughing but told him "that's XXXXXX car and I make it a point to avoid her, don't screw it up".
