Divorce is heart wrenching.
Next to death itself it is the single hardest event anyone can ever go through.
After such a horrendous event in ones life such as myself, I wonder if I'll ever trust again, open my hard heart again or I should say my wounded heart.
Can woman be trusted when you've seen the worst of them come out and you know what they are quite capable of, the UGLY!
I think about this almost daily, as I am currently going through a divorce myself, because of some unbelievably UGLY stuff my husband has done.
I, as well, consider myself wounded, possibly to that same point of no return - from that hardened heart. Only, I ask can any MAN be trusted.
When I read your question, it just hit me: I know I, a woman, CAN be trusted.
Obviously, you feel that you can. So, YES, we are out here.
We made bad choices in allying ourselves with the people we married--people unworthy of trust.
That does not mean there are not wonderful persons of integrity in each gender out there.
Let's try to move forward and treat people as individuals, rather than representatives of the worst common denominator of their gender.
After all, how would either of us feel if we were dismissed as capable of the UGLY? ...but I am with ya.
I mean, it's all well and good to say these things to myself, but getting to the point of feeling it in my heart is different.
