I had never really paid attention to stories on betrayal before.. not until it happened in the family. Whenever I think of the things he did to you, hatred seemed just the right word to describe my feelings. Can we ever forgive him? Does he deserve to be forgiven? After what he did to you, all  these years.. those years that you had lived through in pain and tears. You were never at peace since he fell for another woman.. you were betrayed by a man that you loved so much. The day you appeared at my doorsteps crying your heart out is still a vivid memory. You were almost drowned in your own tears. I had never seen you so emotionally pained in my entire life. The deep love, trust and loyalty that had survived the tests of time were nothing more than a family tale to him. ..now that you re gone,  the man you loved is still hurting you. It was not even a year... not even 8 months that you were gone, he had settled down again. A big reception so I heard...ooh yes, we were so invited! At first I felt like going so that I could shout out loud to the world things he had done to you. The temptation was so huge but I was still sane enough to haul myself out of the idea. Today, even though I am not as bitter as the days before, I still cannot bring myself to mention his name or address him as my X BIL.
