Carolyn,

I was just coming to check on you on this. My upline has the same rep in our town. There have been several people in our area who didn't want anything to do w/ her. You are lucky she is in a different town. I know my friend KISRAE has had people who said the same thing.

The only thing that has gone for my upline is that she has been the only stable consultant in the area. Now my dir has been in for 5 years, I have been in for 3 years. So people have more options.

I hope all work outs for you!

No I mean another toxic person, believe me I feel for you. I have read some of the posts and thought how could there be another so and so. I know they are out there, I just wish there wasn't so many.
