And the truth shall set me free...part 5

Ann,

so sorry you are coping with this.  I have not heard this on the boards, and have been on OH for 5 yrs,  (changed my named a year + a go)   but I moved to VA from Massachusetts in May of 08 and have had BAD luck with neighbors and trust issues......   so i do feel your pain.  I was actually robbed by someone that I trusted/and thought was a friend.  It is so hard joining a new group, or moving to a new place and puting in your "trust' only to be royally let down.  I am so sorry this had to happen to you.   You have always seemed to me to be so real and honest and kind. 

Trust me when I say, that this  WILL hurt her in the long run........ not that I want anyone hurt, but I do believe in karma... and what goes around, comes around.   So please do not choose to hurt back.  youre a better person than that.     What this world needs these days more than anything else is PEACE...

that is my opinion and i'm sticking with it... :)

hugs,

Jill

Jill, thank you very much for your reply...your words of support are much appreciated.  I don't wish anyone to hurt either, & I have no desire to hurt back.   I posted all this to stop the rumors & lies being told about me & to hopefully stop the cruel backstabbing by those that have been charmed by her. Even though she hurt me deeply by her betrayal, & angered me greatly by using my son the way she did, not to mention terrorizing my family, I miss the part of her that was kind & sweet.  I don't believe that these behaviors are the true person inside her...I think she's in trouble & needs help, but she is not in a place to accept that yet...maybe one day.  I did not feel like I could come back to OH when my reputation & credibility were being maligned.  And the final blow was finding out that she lied to another friend & caused that friend to turn against me.

It's been a few days now since this all came out, & most have had time to read & respond...maybe now things can move on.  She has been identified by her own hand, & those that read what went on can come to their own decision on how they want to respond/react.  I'd simply like to get on with my own journey & hopefully can help others as I have been helped.

I am sorry to hear that you were robbed. It's bad enough being robbed & feeling violated, but even worse when it's someone you know. That's a terrible betrayal.

At any rate, I'm willing to hang it out on my sleeve once again.  I refuse to give someone that kind of power over me & I still feel that there are more good people out there...I would hate to limit myself just because of one bad egg.  So I'm back on OH & looking forward to new friendships & new adventure!!
 

I am not familiar with what is going on, but wow.  I have a brother very similar to how you described your son and my heart aches for you. 

Thank you for your understanding, Amanda. I'm happy to report that Matt is doing well once he was able to process everything.  I don't think he'll make this same mistake again, but it was certainly a hard lesson learned.

Dear Ann,

I am a lurker on this board for most part and have not visited the site for about a month.  You have always come across as a genuine person with good advice for all. I am sorry you had to go thru this and anybody who takes advantage of a person that is not capable of even living on their own and then calls them equally responsible is just kidding themself and trying to shift blame.  I enjoy your posts and your straightforwardness, please continue to visit the site, we all can learn a lot from u.  In the end I will just say that May God heal you and your family of this trauma and May God give her some sense too...

Jaya, thank you very much for your support & your kind words.  We are doing much better now that this has all been brought out into the open.  Leaving it as a dirty little secret only perpetuates negativity & hinders the healing process.

So you're in Centreville, eh?  Ummm...a bunch of us are getting together this coming Thursday at the Golden Corral in Manassas at noon.  Any chance you can join us?

Thanks again!

Ann,
I've been out of town for several months helping my daughter recover from a brain aneurysm.  From reading your post, I sure have missed alot. 

My dearest Cathy...I'd say you haven't missed a thing!  I'm very sorry to hear about your daughter.  How is she doing?  What's the prognosis?  How are YOU???  My little drama doesn't even compare to what you've been dealing with.  And the drama is now over...I hope.  Please fill us in, perhaps in a new thread rather than this one, & let us know how things are going.  You are one of our sisters...we rally around each other.

Much love to you & your family!!

Ann, you know I'm the perpetual lurker but I read everything and want you to know that I am sorry this happened to you.  No need for any of us to judge her.  She will be judged eventually in the highest court there is.  God bless.........
