    Matt,

    You win the Internet.

    As always you have great things to say that make me look at the situation from a completely different perspective; a much more positive one.

    Thank you…CM

    Becky- I loved your response and how it made me really stop and think. You brought another view of the situation that I overlooked because of my pain. Thank you for taking the time to write me and I appreciate your words.

    Matt,

    Thank you so very much for your kind words and acknowledging the depth of betrayal I felt. You, as with everyone else is right, I must let this go and stop dwelling on a decision that everyone regretted. I will take your advice and do as you suggested, thank youfor taking the time to respond.

    Rose/Josie, You both are correct in your statements. We have had the conversation and she said it was the biggest mistake of her life. I don’t know why I carry this anger inside after so man years. I am trying to let it go so I can have a healthy relationship with her. That experience and the life she had made her appreciate me and gave her some self worth. It is just painful to know she gave her prime to a old man who emotionally abused her and manipulated her with money. She is absolutely such a wonderful and caring person and I know it has to do with the hardship she brought upon herself. I’m going to let it all go, it has been discussed and she is not the same person as she was. I will continue to pray and live in love and light. There is nothing loving about my letter and she definitely does not need to read it. Thank you both for your responses.

    Thank you all for the advice, I took it to heart and have really been listening to myself and finding some of the answers I am looking for. Kelly and Al..I know there are so many lessons in life and sadly, learning from them all and gaining the truth is impossible. Decisions create new worlds and in those new worlds more decisions are made which can perpetuate the cycle. All I can say is I’m doing my best and trying to live through love and light, appreciate the good around me and see things with unbiased eyes…I think this compliments Twain’s quote…

    “Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:4-5). Was found on Spiritual leadership… Thank you again and look forward to learning with you all…

    Luna,

    Thank you for your response. I greatly appreciate your honesty and the acknowledgement that comes with it. Everything you said was correct in the way that I feel and the resentments that come along with it. In my heart I know I would be doing myself a disservice if I did not at least give it a year. I can only imagine what a wonderful and fulfilling journey you will have given the maturity and understanding you show for someone so young. Keep up the art and self discovery and I wish you all the best. Thank you again…

    Kim,

    I am going through something similar. What Matt said is the absolute truth and could not be worded any better. Follow his words and advice, how can you love someone else when you don’t love yourself. Change is hard and we naturally fight it, but it will heal you in time. Good luck to you…

    Hi,

    I must agree with the above poster. You are 19 years old and are in a relationship with a much older man. I do understand the attraction as I am a 36 year old man and date younger women myself. I recently returned to the US after being out of the country for 8 years. Enjoy the time and memories that you have made in Australia, they will stay with you for the rest of your life. If the relationship is meant to last then arrangements can always be made for week long excursions back and forth. He should encourage you to continue your education. I recently dated a girl your age and she suddenly decided not to continue college. I informed her that if she made that decision, we would no longer be together. Sadly, people will enter and leave your life that you think will always be there. The one thing that you will always have and will allow you to travel and expand your still very young horizon is your education. Please listen to your heart because I believe from reading your post, inside you know that you need to return back to France and attend. Best of luck to you….
