It takes time to get over agony like this. It's hard enough to have a spouse leave one for somebody else, to have finances ruined and a beloved child gone. Harder still is the acknowledgement that one is going to be alone for the rest of one's life, so there can be no comfort for the losses. This is a very sad thing, very hard to accept. As I said, even if she is a true angel the chances are good she'll never be able to remarry. So right now she's giving vent to her feelings in print, which is always a temptation for writers. If she has a really, really good therapist (and they're out there), she might get over it and learn to accept being alone. If she finds faith, she's much more likely to move on to a peaceful life.

I'm going to pray for her peace. Will you join me? Without condemnation or hostility?

Well, your faith in human nature (or the supernatural core of human nature, perhaps) is inspirational, but she has shown no glimmer of angelhood.

I'm one of the many men that isn't dating, let alone marrying, women like her any more. Which is why a lot of women my age are already condemned to live out their existence with two cats and a library card -- which is all the better for the children they didn't have.

The true loser in this is the child, a child that she clearly does not love, but instead values as an object with which to punish her hated ex. (No idea whether the ex's feelings towards the kid are any different, but with a mother like this, the child was born doomed). The child, I'll pray for. The mother, you can pray for. Mom probably needs it worse but I'm not that good a Christian.

d.o.l.
