In a way I feel used especially when I found out the sister was going.
^^^ This is yours on this issue. Just dig though... Peace brother.
Well not exactly country…….Our feelings are neither right nor wrong they are just feelings. To say I felt used after I loaned the money is just that, a feeling.
If I confide in a buddy and then he goes behind my back and tells someone what I said or did I would feel betrayed. Sure it would be up to me on how I handle the situation but how I handle it does not detract from the betrayal or the feeling of betrayal at the end of the day, it is a violation of the trust I placed on this person.
All the digging in the world will not change the outcome of the fact that is very clearly stated.
Now on this issue I understand where you are coming from
At the end of the day I had the choice to ignore the request and rightfully so but I chose not to for reasons I have explained above but to ignore the obvious is not a self-reflection on my inability to grow but rather an acknowledgement of the reality.
I allowed myself to be used………….ok……………no problem…………..but it is a fact.
