oh gosh this is something close to my heart..soft smile.. i have been on the receiving end..and i dont know if it would have saved me...if someone had of told me the truth.. i would have believed the one i wanted.. even tho i think i always knew the truth.. just refused to acknowledge it.... i have found that often when people lie to me.. im actually fooling myself..
i also lost a friend because of someone lying to me.. and me telling the person who lied i did not find it an acceptable way to treat me.. i personally would not think its appropriate to tell the whole community.. but i might be tempted to tell someone they were close to.. to be very careful and be very sure before they committed themselves.. without actually telling someone something that was not any of my business.. or really theirs either..
you also have to remember.. there is alway more than one truth.. and more than one way of looking at things..
hard position to be in.. and i wish you luck in coming to the right and fair decision.. xxx
