my NOW ex husband used the pretense of having CANCER for several months to manipulate and get money not only from me, but from others - he also used it to cover up his drug use.
I suspected all along it was a lie, but found out about 3-4 months into the scam he was lying - another stone added in my path to my road out of that miserable life.
Say goodbye to the unrealistic guilt - you have done nothing wrong - if you had spoken to a healthy member of that family and they had shared with you that little girl's illness - you would have expressed concern, thoughts and care.
So keep taking good care of you and let your ex do what his disease and he chooses to do.
HUGS,
Rita
