BlondeAmbition006,

Good job.  Thanks for sharing such a personal piece.  I'm sure many of us can relate to your feelings.  :)

Wow,

This was really beautiful. I understand this totally.

BlondeAmbition007, That's a harsh reality to come to terms with

I've found the letter-writing helps, too.  The kind I never send.  You're right, though, it's not bitterness to acknowledge the truth.

Forgiving, for real forgiving, sets you free. I am not religious at all

but once you can see her as a flawed, very human, being you can start getting on with your own healing.  That's what I did, anyway.

From experience, I can say it does get a little easier with time, but you

never really get over it.
