Zeus...I can promise you, not every person will cheat and leave. Granted, we're a minority anymore, but people with integrity still exist. You're going through a bad time, with a storied personal history, but I think deep down, you know I speak the truth.
I left you a message earlier that somehow went away. The hotel room had awful reception. I'm so sorry about your mom's situation. My mother, the most amazing woman ever, went through something similar when my dad replaced her after 34 years of marriage. I never really got over that. My mom never remarried until after my dad died. It really slays me when honestly beautiful souls are wounded by the careless, selfish people. I'll be happy to include your mom in my prayers.
