Wim, honey, I think I know how you feel. I, too, have fairly recently been disillusioned by someone here. The situation was/is a bit different, but I think I get where you're coming from. You think you can trust someone, you think you've found a friend, and in an instant, you realize that you've been duped. By that person, by your own wishful thinking, whatever--it hurts like a motherfucker. And unlike 'real life', you have all these written records of every conversation, every joke you shared, every word of encouragement you thought was heartfelt...it sucks. But I'm still here, Wim. Why is that? For the same reason that I've stuck around through all the bullshit, sweetie: for folks like you... and Becca...and Lucy...and Kelly...and Donna...and Steve...and...are you getting my point? Just like in 'real life', the trick is to know who you can lean on and do it. We all make mistakes (apparently). But you know who you can trust, who really cares about you, Wim. And you know that we'll be here whenever you decide to stop back by. All that remains is for us not to have too much fun without you; don't worry, I've been stockpiling fun for just such an occasion. ;)

Heather, that's beautifully said. :cool:

Wim don't leave, just because someone betrayed you.  I know how you feel as that has happened to me before.  The thing where someone tells you how they feel you a good or close friend, you open up to them and than they decide to dump on you and you realize they were lying all along just for the sake of using a person.

Wim, I really wish you would not leave. You have been a bright light on here at times when the topics would be rather dark and that has been a joy to many of us. You are a really good hearted person and though leaving may seem the right thing to do now, the other person who made you upset is winning in the end, so don't let them. Stay with your head held high and make them eat their words.
