For some reason this morning I decided that I wasn't going to go back to Greenville until tomorrow morning. So Mom and I made cookies and caught up while I did laundry.
Around 6:15 my sister comes in. Crying.
"I broke up with Barry today."
Dad, Mom, and I are all really in shock because honestly we didn't think she would do this. She goes on to tell us that she was looking through Barry's phone and found texts to some other girl telling her that she was sweet and attractive and that it was nice to have someone to talk to.
After what happened between Jaime and Barry before, I'm sure she had minimal trust left in her and finally told him it was over. She told him that she couldn't do this anymore.
When I heard this I was furious. He doesn't think that he did anything wrong! He said when she left, "Just realize that you're the one walking away."
Jaime left.
I'm so proud of her.
But she's hurting, immensely. She loves him. Mom and I tried to boost her mood and told her that she did the right thing even though it hurts like hell right now. As she left I gave her a hug and she sobbed. When I finished, Mom gave her a hug. Jaime sobbed even more. Jaime cried harder when Mom hugged her, there is something about a mother's touch that makes grown men and women let go.
Mom and Jaime were both crying and then they went outside. I asked Mom what Jaime said out there and she had said, "There goes my last chance of having a family. I'm 30 years old."
I knew it! I knew that is why she was staying in this relationship. She feels like her chances are long and gone. The reality of it is- they aren't. My mom was 36 when she had me.
Mom said, "Megan, we have to start binding Satan. He's going to feed off that lie that she is telling herself and she will go into depression."
We've seen it before, so those of you who will: Pray. Pray for her to find solace in God and not in other things.
I'm scared for her.
I'll be praying. I'm so sorry. That is a terrible feeling, and I will keep praying that God comforts her and brings her to true love.
ReplyDeleteI get that.
ReplyDeleteI get how if feels to watch your sister, a part of who you are, fall to pieces and lose hope.
I'm sorry.
Of COURSE I'll pray.
:/ Your family didn't like him anyway. I hope there is someone out there for her that you guys will all fall in love with and if not I hope she can see that being alone doesn't mean being lonely.
ReplyDeleteI know..
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that they aren't together, but I hate seeing her like this.
I honestly don't believe that she'll be alone for the rest of her life.. at least I hope not.
