[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 663730, member: 17461"] Love is a moving thing. I hadn't thought about it that way, either. How do we receive; how do we allow the flow of it. Where are we in that ebb and flow? Where are we culpable if someone treats our loving shabbily, as though it were less than the wonder it is for someone to love us? When we have been betrayed, when there have been signs we ignored that our loving and believing in someone was seen cheaply or was treated as though it were some cheap thing, easily used and cast away...where is our responsibility there. Are we truly victims, or have we made a choice? We've made a choice. Acknowledging that, we are free. The betrayal was not between us and the other person. The betrayal occurred between us and ourselves. "[I]It fell so low in my regard I heard it hit the ground.[/I] Whatever goes in here. :O) [I]Yet blamed the fate that fractured less than I reviled myself For entertaining plated wares upon my silver shelf."[/I] [I]Emily Dickenson[/I] Isn't that an interesting way to see it. I am talking betrayal of FOO. I think we have no choice but to love and to suffer when we are talking about the kind of betrayal having to do with addiction. But our FOO? Alright. So, maybe not our moms. But our sisters? Heh. Cedar [/QUOTE]
