Thanks for not judging...I will tell all of you like I told Jbean the other day, if it is proven that Matt is involved I hope they bury him under the jail, and I will gladly drop the first shovel of dirt on him! (Then whack him with the shovel). BUT I can not believe in my heart that he is capable of such.
Confused, I have thought about this post of yours ever since I read it. I sincerely HOPE it doesn't go down that way and that Matt is shown to be innocent. I hope that for many reasons, not the least of which is the children's need for their father. After all, they've already lost their mother for two months. They need their father, in my opinion, unless he is a horrible dad, which I have no reason to believe. And he would have to be absolutely horrible for it to be better for the children for him to be in jail than with them. IMO.
I have been situations, however, when I trusted someone implicitly and defended them to the nth degree, only to later feel punched in the gut, foolish and with egg on my face. For some people, lying is as natural as breathing, and they are very believeable! Even to the people closest to them.
IF it goes this way for you, I really hope you have a soft place to land somewhere, away from the "I told you so" crowd. Betrayal stings like no other, particularly when you've stuck your neck way out there only to find out you've been "had." And IF it goes that way, it would be because he's so good at being a "con," and not because you are stupid. I say that because I felt really stupid each time I was in that position. In fact, I dare say you are probably as good a friend to Matt as Arlene is being to Gail. The difference is you are bucking the tide big time in order to be loyal to your friend.
I just had to say that this morning.... The position you are now in is a really difficult place to be. I personally need to keep that perspective in mind as I post.
