I love how people preach being honest and truthful....but when the truth isn't pretty and doesn't fit into their little world they hide from it. 9 days ago I wrote a very honest letter to my Ex-inlaws letting them know what really happened that lead to the demise of my marriage to their son.....nine days and I have heard nothing more than crickets.
That is a theme these days, if people don't like truth they hide from it or act like they didn't hear you. I was a part of their family for 18years, I felt I deserved a response of some kind after the judgement they have place on me all these years. Nothing, that is what I got.
Not an" I'm so sorry we made you feel that way" or "we are sorry for judging you"...or even an "I'm so sorry you went through that"....Nothing. I'm not sure why that surprised me, I kind of set myself up for that. If I wasn't good enough to marry their son, then in their eyes maybe I wasn't good enough for an apology of any kind.
So added to my list of things I need to let go of is getting any kind of apology from people in my life that hurt me in order to move on. Truth is scary, and it can hurt, but if there is one lesson I took away from what I went through, it is that hiding from the truth will only prolong the pain, facing it head on however painful is necessary to move forward.
We have really become a society where we feel the need to disguise truth in prettied up packages...sometimes truth is shitty....no sense in hiding it in a cupcake to deliver it....its still going to taste like shit. So I guess what I'm saying is no worries you can ignore me it doesn't make the words I said untrue. Face it or don't I said my peace and I'm moving on.
