Quoting shinybear:
Ceb, it really is different if the OW is someone you know, worse yet if you trusted them, worse yet if you considered them a friend. It just is. And in this case the OW went ahead with your A, KNOWING that she was stabbing a "friend" in the back. That's just awful!
This is the sitch that I am in. OW was a friend. Have been out with her. She has been to pool parties at my in-laws house. Knew H's mom before she died of cancer. She has been to my house. Heck, she even pushed my S8 in his baby stroller during a charity walkathon. It hurts to be stabbed in the back by someone you trusted over the years. This woman knows me, and I would have called her my friend. I cannot begin to describe how difficult it is now to imagine this woman playing step mommy to my kids. It is really sick! Anyway, I just wanted to give you another POV.

I am inspired by your thread. I hope to join you someday here under piecing. With God's help, I will!!

Keep the faith!!
