What comes around goes around..so they say

For the last 10 years almost of my life, I dedicated 100% to being a mom, a stepmom, and a wife. I was there for my kids through tough and trying times. My stepkids too. I was there at school functions, school meetings, eating lunch when they were smaller with them, (that is always a big deal to kids when they're young), took them to doctor and dentist appointments. Was there to support them when one was hurt with feelings, was there to take up for them against each other in the brother/sister/sisterfriend battles. Was I there to fix them breakfast and wake them up everymorning for school? Did their clothes get washed and tried to make sure they were dressed decent for school everyday? Yes, I was there bright and early up and waking them all up every morning. Did I ask for a medal? Did I ask for a trophy? No, it was part of my duty as a mother/stepmother. Was I there for all of them during times when their own mother wasn't? Yes, I was. Was I a part time mother who only saw her children every other weekend? No, I was there everyday. Did I give up when someone else came along and walk out and leave them? No, I didn't and that would have been the last thing in the world I would have done.

As much as I pray for me to forgive and forget I know it will still take time. I still need the strength to let go of all the anger and resentment towards certain people. I pray for me to handle it better everyday so I won't have these feelings over my head and in my heart.

She, and yes, I say she, will have to answer for her actions. And her actions just keep going, going, going. Seems to never stop. But it will. Oneday. And hopefully her eyes will be open then
and she will be enlightened as to what a lowlife she has been. And still continues to be.
