I had to read through the other posts before I responded, just to see if we had any like minds in the bunch. I am pleased that Iso was able to say it first, as she can say it best.
It will take time to get over the hurt and betrayal. But this is not the heaviness of grief. This loss, this is a loss that may free you at last.
It's time to focus on you, to throw away the iron (hit him in the head with it first!), to grab your paint brush and make something beautiful out of this ugly event.
(Is this my same Gracie the mural painter? The wonderful talent? You are a love!)
In spite of all your pain and hurt, look what you wrote! How beautiful it was!
Don't you DARE slip into that abyss because of this poor excuse for a man. Don't you DARE let him beat you down. You live well and get your revenge that way. Now you can surround yourself with those who will tell you the truth: that you are beautiful, that you are talented, that what you give the world is worth more than anything ever taken from you.
Please come back to us for support during this troubled time. But you hold your head up. You are too young and have too many wonderful things in store for you to let this drag you down.
Here comes the sun, indeed.
Love,
beardy
