I think the OP is writing phonetically, so I'm going to say it rhymes with "duck-up."

Meanest thing someone has ever said about me? Believe it or not, it was calling me an idiot and saying I was stupid. Oh, I've been called worse in terms of vocabulary and profanity, and in some cases, not only did I deserve the description but I was okay with it. Sometimes a woman just has to be a beyotch out of self-preservation.

But the person who called me an idiot, who happens to be my ex-SO, knew full well that I am anything but, and he said it to try to cut me down. The intent is what made the comment mean, not the words themselves. It was so ridiculous in its pettiness, spitefulness, and deliberate nastiness that I turned to him and said, "You know, I must be, if I'm with YOU."

Just anything that was simply not true, I think...something made up inside their
own head...their issues projected onto me....
then saying that nonsense to others.

Thank God, I don't care anymore about the nutty things anyone thinks or may believe about me from another.
The FREEDOM!!!!

I find as long as we are bothered by something it keeps happening...let it go
...and it stops like immediately!

Football Association Cup. English football, that is. We Americans call it "soccer." Winning the FA Cup is the British equivalent to winning the Super Bowl.

My 19-year-old stepdaughter once said to me, "You know what's wrong with you? You're too nice." At the time my reaction was, What's wrong with being "too nice?" But I realized what she meant, that I was a pushover, a wimp, and not assertive enough. And I knew she was right. That's what stung.

I walked out of a job that I loved but was a toxic environment because I caught my boss and asst. boss mocking me.

I found out a month later that she was telling people that I couldn't handle the death of my son and that was the reason I quit.

My son died 18 mos. prior to this event and I never took my grief to work, even when it was fresh.

I simply cannot stand it when someone accuses me of saying or doing something mean or dishonest when I didn't.

Anyone who knows me knows that I will go out of my way to be kind and considerate, and I only tell little "white lies" (such as telling someone with a new hairstyle that it looks good, even when I think it isn't flattering to them), so I become very hurt when someone is "mean" to me when I haven't deserved it.

Of course, I do admit that sometimes I am mean, too, on these kinds of forums -- but I think I can honestly say that it is never without being personally attacked first. (Not that that's any excuse, but I am certainly no saint!)

I am so sorry for your loss; my son died at age 19, two years ago, so I can definitely relate.

Thank you and I am also sorry about your son. It's a club membership that people don't want. Next month will be 5 yrs.

Thank you for your sympathy, also. People can't know what it's like unless they have been through it, too, I think.
