I had recently had a bad falling out with a respite provider which was a year ago over the fact that I did not follow through on my original plans to see a movie that I had invited her to. She had been so angry that she started talking about everything that was wrong with me and how one friend had made it clear that he didn't want to be with me and that I was insane. She also accused me of getting mad at people too often and said that I needed to be in counseling. Finally, she dropped me off at my Aunt's where I was staying and said she she would not be allowed to take me to the bus anymore or work for my aunt and I due to this.
Not long after this, I ended up moving out of my aunt's house and getting my own place, and she found out. I was going to get a set of china dishes that belonged to her mom and I called and thanked her for that and everything seemed cool. A week and a half later, however, she dumped the box of them on the front door but never even bothered to call or anything. So, I did not invite her to my house warming party.
Finally, I saw her driving her truck last night while I was waiting for the bus and I said hello and was being cordial. However, just talking to her I had this really icky feeling inside, and she just seemed for phoney and superficial. She just had a plastered smile on her face and you could hear it in her voice.
Do you think being cordial to her in public was a good idea?
