[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 543129, member: 13882"] Dash, I have been where you are with respect to the lies, cold as ice treatment, and blame. The major difference is that my husband was not in on it. I was betrayed by one person; it seems you were betrayed by two. This may sound like a platitude, but if we must suffer, better to suffer for trying to do good with a caring heart, than to suffer the consequences for dishonesty, stealing, disobedience, etc. It may look like she's fancy free, not a care in the world, but that's not the case by a long shot. The consequences may be down the road, but they're coming. That being said, there is no rule which says you have to be a fool or a doormat, disrespected and manipulated in your own home. I know it hurts on so many levels, and it makes no sense why a mom who cares so much would be dishonored, but you stand up for what you believe in, keep your integrity, and don't let it get you down for long. I've said this before - I had a dear friend who used to say, "All you can expect from a cow is a kick." It's not worth one more minute of regret. Have your cry today, but pick yourself up tomorrow and keep your faith. You're worth more than the treatment you've been getting. This too shall pass. [/QUOTE]
