Unforgivable

You lied right to my face,
                                               
you lied to my back.
                                                     
You stole in front of me,
                                               
you stole to my back.
                                                   
You knew you were entitled to nothing,
                           
I freely gave you so much.
                                           
Many were my family treasures,
                                     
treasures I had longed for.
                                             
At the end on the phone you said,
                 
I have taken it all.
                                                       
Little did you know,
                                                       
I had planned on selling many things off.
                       
Then splitting the money with you,
                                 
now you have much to sell or keep.
                           
Many have said this is unforgivable,
                               
I "forgive" and let God handle this.
                                 
Too bad you let greed get the best of you,
                     
you have broken our family tie.

I wonder Paula, if you will forgive "the broken family tie" too? You have a strong attribute of forgiveness, is it strong enough for this too? Congrats on your fine placement. Liked the pace and flow of your entry. Be well.

Get past this, dear Paula. Not by repression nor by sublimation but by recognition. Recognise that the aggressor is say, an animal in human form, so is compelled to act as such. Ooze out compassion for them, say a prayer even but don’t trauma bond. Just move on. Congrats on your top win!

Thanks for writing. Glad you like this one. It is all too bad. We could have had so much fun in life. I do not know what they will do with all of the things they took. They knew that some of the things had a world of meaning to me and I wanted to keep them. They also stole things from my son. God will deal with them. Have a blessed day................
