...to end a weekend that was painful.

As I posted in my update, someone I loved very much has truly disappointed and hurt me, as well as the rest of our family. It hurts my heart to see what he has become. He is full of hate and loathing, not only for himself (though he tries to hide it), but also for anyone who questions what he's doing. Self-interest seems to be the only thing driving him these days. I tolerated his behavior for far too long and I called him on it. He wrote things to me, in his anger, that are unforgivable. We've had our words and now I'm done with him.

If he is reading this, don't bother writing to me. I won't be reading it. Your last messages were only opened in the hopes that they started with an apology. They didn't so they were chucked unread. Just more of your venom.

I'm done getting hurt. I will not let him affect my feelings anymore. I've had my tears but I will not shed another one for him. My love is given gladly to those who deserve it and there are plenty in my life who do.

Tomorrow is a new day, right? So to end on the beautiful note I mentioned, I came across this video today of women in art. It shows 500 years worth in about 3 minutes. I thought it was lovely. I hope you do too.
