To Her,
I have never had the opportunity to address you directly, nor do I want to but as I sit here reflecting on the past….the hurt, the deception, the treachery, the embarrassment, the shame and the suicide attempt. I don’t think you really understand the magnitude of your actions…you deliberately set out to destroy my life, my family. You came into my life weaving your way into the fabric, pretending to be an ally when all the time working your scheme from within. I never would have thought it would be you!
I am over the hurt, but still greatly disappointed. No, not because we had a close friendship, but because I’ve always believed there is a moral code between all women, one that we were born with. As much as we may try to silence it or ignore it — it’s still there. I’m not solely blaming you for what happened because I truly believe it would have occurred sooner or later in some form or another but you do have a responsibility.
There have been so many tears and so much pain from not only myself and my children, but the people in our lives that love us. You need to understand that your actions have caused a ripple effect and hurt a lot of people.
Please understand, I am not writing this because I hate you, I’m past that emotion but I hope that in the future, if the moment presents itself where you encounter a taken man, that you realize you have the power to choose whether you want to be a part of destroying someone’s life, or not. Your decisions define you and I hope, for the sake of other women and their families, that you make a better one next time.
Sincerely,
The Woman You Betrayed
