How do they look themselves in the mirror 4?

Interesting comment regarding the truth will out eventually.

The college friend of mine who visited last week - he stayed with W in my home overnight (yes, this is the home I pay for, but where I am not welcome). Afterwards we hung out for an afternoon. Those are the words he used with me. "The truth will come out eventually."

I think it is so valuable to have an outside perspective sometimes. Sometimes I get so caught up in the emotion of the situation, the feeling that this is so wrong and so on, that it is very difficult to be patient, be quiet. This friend of mine sees that I am in pain, and there's nothing, absolutely nothing he can do about it. All he can do is assure me that the truth will come out. I am no abuser. I love my kids. The truth will out. She cannot keep this up indefinitely.

I was thinking about it - I am out of the house for 6 months now. For 10% of my youngest daughter's life, I have been away from her, not tucking her in at night, not reading stories with her. 10%. That's a big chunk of her life. Not to mention the 6 months with my other kids. But I am thinking long term. I won't get that 10% back. I won't get the 6 months back. There will be no justice. But that's ok. There will be truth. I am thinking about the next 20, 30, 40 years with her. I want to be there for her *(my daughter!), and for the rest of my kids, for the long term. The truth will out.
