I've learned something new

We have been here in this small town now for a few months and out on a ranch that has it's own lil (very lil) community around it .  We live smack in the middle of this ranch and I have learned a valuable lesson about the nature of people.  They DON'T want to see others happy.  Plain and simple these people hate that my husband and I are So in love with each other and out little family (kids).  They have tried to devide us emotionally, mentally, and physically and the more I learn the more I see they will try at any means necassary for them to ruin our happiness.  I at first could not fathom why they would want to do these things to us, but it has come to my attention that "some" people have betting issues using other peoples lives as the principle.  We have now become said "principle" and we now struggle to find ways to out smart these people.  We can't move (not enough money) and we can't just ignore them because we work with and for them.  I try to center myself around my family and not allow those people with shallow minds and souls to ruin what we have been so lucky to have found in each other.  It's amazing what people of "faith" try to do to other people for fun.
