After reading the other poem, no recovery will not be easy this time.
I feel your sadness and your pain. Praying for you my friend.

Thank you, Teresa! I'm actually recovering faster than I thought I would. Early on, you warned me to be careful but how can you be careful when you are certain you have finally found the love of your life after so many years?? For five months she had me completely snowed but gradually, the sociopath showed her true face. A new tomorrow has begun. Linda

I'm just glad you are ok and glad things are going ok and that you have a safe place to live.

A theme we all experience at some stage in our lives.
Betrayal physical and emotionally hurts, renders us
half alive at times. You've captured all that beautifully
in your poem. And yes, sometimes it seems harder than we
can cope with. But there's always that light at the end of the dark tunnel.

Hi Linda. Even the strongest of people have a tough time with betrayal. To those who are always honest and loyal, it's a really hard thing to come to terms with, especially if one is betrayed by their spouse/lover. The passing of time makes it hurt less, and I sincerely hope that you reach that point sooner rather than later.
"within a cocoon of sadness softly cradled" ... an excellent description of how we feel when betrayed. ~ ~ Connie

When the background is read it is always quite telling. When one posts at the top two poems it pretty much tells the story that is never pretty. You will work this out but be prepared for the times it can instantly come back and you seem to be right there again. This is when you need to be on your guard because you are extremely vulnerable when these moments appear.

Hey there Linda
It has been far too long that I have NOT been here to read your works. This is awesome and sad as well. Recovery from a broken heart is NEVER easy. This mirrored my life in a way

Recovery from any sadness is very hard and the memories make it harder to help heal, depending on the circumstances. Very well stated

There she is!! I hope you are well. Yeah, Kathy had me completely snowed for 4 1/2 months and demonstrated her nasty, lying side for the next 4 1/2 months. But, I left 5 weeks ago and am on the road to recovery. Hope to see you soon. Linda, Too

hello again Linda,
Sweetie I don't think recovery is ever easy no matter how you got into a situation where you have to recover. Poetically you are gifted and I'm absolutely sure if you just keep writing it out, others will help you along the way. Good luck. This is another example of your beautiful work. xoxo deborah

Comment from royowen
A friend's, family or relational betrayal is the most difficult thing to recover from. It took all the resources of wisdom I had available to me, I even blamed God for "setting me up". Beautifully written and presented Linda, the narrative is emphatically tragic and emotively scribed in articulate emphasis, well done again, blessings, Rioy
