How do we best pick up and move on after being badly taken advantage of by dishonest people? I find I am questioning a lot about myself and my decisions in life.Why do I want to try to be tough? Live outside of a fold, be so independent? As I look back on the situation it seemed like I got caught up in a force. My determination to solve my problem on my own was too strong and my ability to understand the situation I was in was not strong enough. I am safe, though hurting inside and much poorer. Something really had me in a track of thinking that I had to take care of myself on my own and not lean on anyone, not even my husband. I needed a car and ended up buying one from an individual who had altered the odometer and deliberately masked a serious problem (expensive to fix.) I have real feelings of revenge and this is not what I want to spend my energy on. I am really trying to improve my self and my abilities and this is a set back I might have avoided.
