Sorry I get a little passionate on this subject and tend to go off half cocked. But I understand the hurt and pain and the frustration of not being able to answer, why?
I got so low I'd scraped through the bottom of the barrel and was sitting in the dirt underneath it. It was all so unfair and nobody understood and I was expected to not only get on with my life, when I could barely even keep my own head above water, but I was expected to float 3 kids along with me for the ride.
I know the humiliation and feelings of worthlessness. I sat with one woman for 3 hours asking her why? 3 hours!! She told me that if my hubby and her ended up together then that was just something I would have to deal with!!!!
I went to the second ones door and asked her why? Only to be told by her 16 year old son that quite frankly I was a h*re and to f off......which his skank of a mother agreed with and repeated to me as she slammed the door in my face.
That's what I was dealing with. I had my hubby asking me when was I going to pull my head out of my arse when I went to our business to do my book keeping job and wouldn't talk to him. ummmm maybe I was a little upset coz you'd already had skanky ho number 2 in there doing my job for me.
That's the mentality you have to deal with. That's not my problem, it's theirs. But I allowed it to be my problem for so so long. Trying to sort things out and get things back to where I thought they should be. No one in their right mind can read what I've been through and think that it was right. The only people that can see the right in their actions are them and now I just feel sorry for them that they have no perception of what's right or wrong.
But I do have and I'll be damned if I stand by and watch others beat themselves stupid trying to do the same when the problem isn't theirs to sort out.
You are only responsible for your actions. Be the better, bigger person, let them go and move on. Believe that as they are currently that they're not worthy of you and your love, but you are and once you believe that and expect it good things will start to happen.
