I was seeking to release a grudge by forgiving one whom I felt betrayed my trust. Sad to say the response was a condescending one that only added to the hurt. I have to let that go. I am carrying too many scars already. Perhaps in time I will attempt it again. I think the effort was perhaps enlightening though. It revealed more to me about their defensiveness than grace. Even in a church there are people who are blinded by their own self-perceived perfection.
If I could, I would share the reasons I feel they are being used, but I know too well how easily the master manipulator uses the good in others to twist their empathy and intellect into compassionately playing into his hands. It is clear to me that is the case.
She said they supported him because he had no support, while I had lots of support. Interesting, we lived in a shelter for eight months. I work and pay our way. He is in my home, with all the furnishings that I am still stuck paying for while his wealthy Mother buys him a car for cash, pays for his lawyers, he plays on the lake all summer, dates, and from all outward appearances and possessions he has made out like a bandit and yet she says he has no support?
