Now, the limbo period where you wait to see if there are any further attacks incoming. It's stressful but I suppose I ought to have the attitude that no news is good news but when you are dealing with irrational behaviour you never know what they'll get up to next?
Having dealt with the outright hostility by offering to sit down and discuss it, I hope I've defused some of the vitriol and vexatious accusations levelled at me. I don't need this especially as it is unfounded and not of my making at all.
I suppose that in reality it has affected me quite deeply. Betrayal does that but it isn't the first time and I suppose it wont be the last. People who you think you knew turn on you or fade away never to be seen again. I've spent time with all of them, been by their side through thick and thin, bailed them out (I really don't want to know quite how much money I'm owed - it is substantial) and invested my time with them only for them to just melt away and now I'm lucky if I hear from them once in every few years or maybe bump into them at weddings and funerals.
It is disappointing and I suppose human nature to be so self centred and selfish. I like the words from the Royal Family when they used the phrase "Recollections may vary" which is very much how it is at the moment excepting, I've got it in writing direct from the author and it's the trump card so to speak. Having sent the copy of that back with my response it should make it all go away if you were sane and sensible that is. If you are bordering on insanity and not being rational I am sure it is like a red rag to a Bull. Let's see?
What I hate about this all is that it's not my actions, not my hurt feelings, not my ill thought through strategy and it's all unnecessary. Just come and talk. He won't though as he's worked himself up into a lather and it's personal. It's not personal, it's business and that's the point, it's got nothing to do with business, it's all to do with ego, bruised as it may be, muddled thought processes, lack of understanding of the way things are done and a complete misunderstanding about how the business functions, how it makes money and the practicalities of running it day-to-day.
It's upsetting though that after a very long time working together, this has happened. Oh well, onward and upwards.
