Thank you, Anne. I appreciate your advice. It’s been very helpful to me. I really did fall for Tim, and it completely blinded me to my sense of right and wrong. I know that’s not an excuse…I still should have known better. I’m trying to see this whole situation as a life lesson. I will learn from it and never repeat this behavior. I do want to feel happy again, but you’re right in what you said in your first post. It will take time to grieve these losses. I will try every day to work toward forgiving myself and becoming a better person. The kindness and understanding of a stranger has helped to give me a push in the right direction, so I thank you. 🙂
