I have become keenly aware of judgmental people since our son was diagnosed with leukemia. I have discovered who real friends are, and aren't. It has been a painful process to drop friendships that have deep roots...because of judgmental attitudes. But I have no energy for high maintenance relationships anymore.
I am so grateful for a church family that has been very supportive through our experiences and of our choices. It was a high evening when our son attended a vespers service, and he was surrounded by his friends....most he had not seen since March.

Believe it or not, I can so relate to this post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You find out who your real friends are when you walk in deep valleys.
And when in a deep valley... there's just no energy for high maintenance friendships. I couldn't have said it better.
Marci~ I am so sorry to hear of what you are going through. I know I struggle with being critical or judgemental. I am learning to be more accepting of people - God is really working with me on this and so many other things. Hold onto God!! He will get you through and supply all of your needs,
Lisa :O)
Sending hugs! My brother faced that so many times. I used to get mad sometimes. Sometimes the soldiers of the cross take up arms over the wrong things. That's my husband told me once, when I was frustrated.
