Once upon a time, there was a princess who met a man she thought was a prince. They got married and had a baby princess. Their marriage was a bad one, filled with lies, bad feelings, mistrust, abandonment, and infidelity. But the princess believed that they had a fresh start and together they moved to a new kingdom. But alas it was not meant to be. For our princess soon discovered that the prince was having an affair with the princess' most trusted friend. The prince and the best friend left the kingdom and shattered the princess. Then they tried to take the baby princess away. Thankfully our heroine found out the plot. After a year long battle, an agreement was reached and peace began to descend once more. The princess found a new prince, one with a little prince if his own, and together they had 3 more princesses. But the princess never really was able to put aside what had happened. The former prince and the wicked witch married and continued to make things hard for the princess and the baby princess. The princess could never make a decision for the baby or do what needed to be done for her, medically, financially, emotionally. But the former prince did whatever he wanted, whenever he wanted. The princess to this day knows that karma is true, but thinks it missed these two. The baby princess is such a stew of low confidence, confusion, and anger and her mom can't do anything but tell her it will be ok. Even though she doesn't really believe it.
How does this fairy tale end?
Who the fuck knows.
I had no clue your best friend, YOUR BEST FRIEND, had an affair with YOUR first husband. :( They are both horrible traitors! :(
ReplyDeleteI know that people are flawed and will always fail us, and some more than others, but God never does. He had a plan for you and for you first baby princess. Sometimes he doesn't rescue us all the way, and sometimes it feels like he hasn't at all. It is hard to understand why those who are so evil are the ones who seem to benefit and win in every single round.
Sweet friend, they may win for now, but she is growing-up. She is loved by her mother. She will be able to choose and LOUDLY voice her opinions in the years to come. You just be sure to always show love and patience. You be the constant in her life. You be the one she can count on. Sneak those small moments with her that she will hold dear all her life. She will remember you taking up for her. The biggest thing is this...they may win here on earth for a time...but no one escapes the judgement we can't escape with a life so ruthlessly lived.
I love you and wish I could hold your hand through it all.
