[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 638888, member: 18516"] Hi GuideMe, I know all too well how it feels to be betrayed and lied about, my difficult child has done it many times. I have found the best thing is forgiveness. Forgiveness is for us that have been hurt because when we hold onto the pain and anger we are allowing the one who hurt us to hold our emotions hostage. Forgiveness does not mean forgetting and it does not mean that the slate is wiped clean. I have told my difficult child that I have forgiven him for all the chaos, drama, theft, damage, etc... that he has done and caused but I also have made it very clear to him that to regain my trust, it will take him several years not just a month of showing that he can live a responsible and productive life. (still waiting for that to happen) I am realistic enough to know that may never happen but I will always have hope. It's an aweful thing she did to you. I think what 2much2recover said is very good advice!! Stay strong. [/QUOTE]
