Hi CW,

Wow, that is brutal. I don't even know where to begin with a situation and story like this. I'm not surprised you feel very betrayed, hurt, and angry here. It is hard to imagine how someone would continue to lie...though I see it here more often than I would like to on this board. I suppose they feel there is some point where it feels too "messy" to really come clean and be honest, because the baggage has been building and building with all the lies.

Sounds like you've been going through lots of painful stuff and also had some major traumatic situations to deal with re: family members.

Hang in there, one step at a time.
