I’m so sorry you’re dealing with this, David. It’s hard. You will, however, make new friends–better friends who will respect you. It’ll take a bit of time. Please do know that it will get easier and there are lots of us who have survived it. I speak from experience here. All the best to you. Kris

Thanks for this article. I’ve had a little bit of success recently in my business and am pretty shaken up because of the snide remarks I’m getting from “friends”. I’m going to have to give up all my old hangouts and friends and it’s frightening because I don’t know if they can be replaced.

The way attacks can come from the most unexpected places is disconcerting – I’ll be having a simple conversation with someone and then all of sudden they’re making rude remarks. It’s tough to deal with in a small town.

Thank you so much for this post. As a full-time author/editor, it has never occurred to me to keep the hate mail from anyone. One of my current greatest fears is that I will have someone I rejected from TEoP or Apex or an anthology verbally attack me at a convention.

I will be at RadCon and will definitely try to get your panel.
