    she said she would be the first one waiting at the end of my driveway to welcome me with open arms once I decided to return

    I believe that if I saw a 'friend' like that at the end of my driveway I wouldn't even give her a running start.

    Yikes, that sucks, but at least he can't be surprised by all this...

    Thanks for all your input guys.

    The best piece of advice I received today from my very dear friend Pubsinger....

    "FILL YOUR LIFE WITH BETTER PEOPLE INSTEAD" and "YOU GROW FROM THE GRACE THAT YOU EXTEND TO THEM"

    Thanks mate.

    It all feels quite raw still some days, 7 months later. But the recovery time is definitely getting quicker :-)

    Funny thing is, I know if this friend did come back to me, having realised that she had been conned by one of the biggest shams there is and was sorry, I would forgive her everything......

    DINAH - I particularly liked your comment about "since when do we use love as a weapon?"

    I'm very glad you got out with your best friend intact.

    Hi Sweet Pea, your experience is awful and typical. l like ninja's approach, if people are behaving in an unchristian way, I have faded, the responses I get are quite ambiguous, like is that your behind I am looking at, or your face? I hope the rawness goes

    Hi (((((sweet pea))))) !

    How are you?

    It's frustrating isn't it? When you see behavior like that it is still shocking, (even though we think nothing can shock us.) To it's so frustrating because we are the ones that are "villified," yet they are the ones with the potty behavior! I am amazed continually that long nurished affections can be turned off so fast. I am incapable of that anymore.

    It's a choice we make everyday...what type of person do we want to be. We should be thankful we had the clarity to question and decide to be something "better." It gets better and better as time goes on, and the rawness will fade, I promise.
