ostracism

do you call it ostracism when you stop inviting someone to gatherings which he was almost always present in just so you can give yourself the chance to heal and move on?

i don't think so especially if other people in your group have the liberty of inviting that someone.

just a thought to ponder coz that's how a friend penned a situation, long over, i described to him.

anyhow, despite having at least one hurting in the past because of that, i think everyone's happy now. that's the most important thing. :)
