My UFO (unbelievably fabulous observations)

[hoosiermama]

lol!! that's not exactly what I had planned to say!!

see, I was fine keeping my distance from the guy, but when he chose to answer my request for no further emails, and answer it with such a condescending, self-congratulatory, patronizing note, he took it to another level. If he had, even once, checked in over the past 2 years on either me or my daughter--just to see if we were keeping body and soul together--I might feel differently. And my intent isn't to blame him for my woes. It's to point out that adultery isn't just a benign embarassment that should be covered over and given the benefit of the doubt, but has real effects on those who get discarded, by illustrating what we've lived with as a result of the decisions of this man he's allowed to take public leadership positions in the parish. Not spewing anger, not inflicting hurt, but enlightening him on the reality of the situation. Then, armed with the facts, he can decide how he might respond to future similar situations in a way that doesn't excuse the harm being done.
