A shout out for the Mistresses

This is a shout out to all the mistresses out there!
Yes, you heard me right!

I don’t care if you hate her.
I don’t care if you call her names.
I don’t care if you think I am “taking her side.”
I don’t care if you think this is a taboo subject or not!
I Don’t Care!

I will tell you what I DO care about…
I care about the human being.
I care about the broken heart.
I care about the lost years.
I care about the broken promises.
I care about the fact that her biological clock is ticking, and she can’t do anything about it, because if she does, she might lose the man of her dreams!
I care about how she feels worthless and not good enough.

She didn’t feel good enough about herself, so she accepted a half assed, not good enough relationship.
A not good enough commitment
A not good enough belief in her own self-esteem to find a REAL man, worthy of her love.
A not good enough self-confidence to live a life of her dreams.

Somewhere in her life she was taught that she is not good enough to have the life that she deserves.

And then some pr**k saw her vulnerability and took advantage of it. Misled her.
Sold her dreams he never had any intentions of ever following through on.

The same pr**k who used the same line over and over again, so he wouldn’t lose her.
~ I am leaving my wife soon. It won’t be long now.
~ I just need the kids to finish school.
~ I just need my wife to finish her degree.
~ I just need to make sure my finances are in order before the divorce.
~ I just need the right time to tell my wife.

Oh my Fk! I have heard all the terrible excuses and lies.
All the ways to manipulate a once naïve, special, vulnerable (often younger) woman to stay in the sidelines.

He can’t show her off, but he sure as hell doesn’t want her to be with anyone else.
The same pr**k, who when she told him she could no longer be a part of his deception, he went into overdrive and adorned her with gifts and praise and affection, just long enough to keep her in his clutches once again.

This is a shout out in particular to four special women, who have trusted me, who have shared their stories, their pain and their heartache with me. Four women who have collectively wasted 43 years between them, living a half-life, waiting for “prince charm your pants off” to finally make an honest woman out of them.

Does this sound personal enough? Damn right it is.
And these are just 4 women I have gotten to know personally.
They are good women. With hearts that have been crushed.
Whose names have been sullied.
And who live a life lurking in the shadows.

PLEASE seek to understand before you condemn.
REALIZE this could be your sister, your friend, your daughter!!!

So yes, this is a shout out for all the special ladies, who have been caught up in a web of lies and false dreams.
I see you.
I acknowledge you.
And I’m here for you.
