leaveoutalltherestThe last year and eight months have been... enlightening. And I really wish I could find that big 'Redo' button and push it.
I trusted someone. Someone I talked to, someone I met, someone I considered one of my best friends. I was an emotional support for this person, I invited her into my home and offered her a place to live.
I was burnt, badly. Badly enough that I don't know if I ever want to trust someone like that again.
The thing is, I'm not the only one who trusted this person. I'm not the only one who got burnt and has been left to pick up the pieces. I'm not the only one who alienated people who I believed were being deliberately cruel to this person, only to find out different now.
Now, we're finding out that promises were made, promises she had no intention on going through on. We're finding out she told some of us one thing, and others a completely different story. She led us to believe things about other people that weren't true, making herself and her child out to be the injured ones. We're speaking and realising that not all of the pieces we have match. She lied, manipulated and conned us all.
Yes, we were conned. And now that she feels she's run through as much as she can, now that people have caught on, she's cut her ties and left us with the mess.
The truth? Willow used us all. She said things about myself and my family, making us out to be the Big Evils, forgetting to mention her own part in the mess. She failed to mention that all those times she talked about going out to get a job, she never left the house, leaving my mother and I to pick up the slack when she was unable to pay her full portion of the rent. All the times that someone snapped at her daughter, was because her daughter is a rude, disrespectful child, and she lets that child act like that. A child who was so overbearing and bullying, that her former classmates here kept telling everyone how happy they were that she was gone. Everytime she was left to 'babysit' other people's children, was because her daughter asked if those children could come down and play. She convinced me that all those who were my online friends, the people I introduced her to, actually hated me and only put up with me because of her. She even lied to those very same people, then cried (literally, CRIED) about how innocent she was and how dare they accuse her of those evil acts when she was confronted about them.
So, to my former roommate. Bravo, a job well done. I hope I never see or hear from you again.
