Open letter to Elin Woods and others who have been hurt

I totally get how hard this time is for you. I too have been there, been embarassed and humiliated in front of everyone I know. I get that you are dealing with this on a much larger scale, but the feelings of feeling like a fool are the same.

The news reports all say that you are done, leaving, and will get a quick settlement. That’s what I did too. There is no right or wrong, or judgment about that, you are doing what you feel you must do.

Yet, here is my hope for you. That you know and understand it is not you, it is him, his issue. That no matter how much he is loved by others, there is something missing inside of him. His ego is just not being fed enough. It’s not fed enough because he is obviously looking outside himeself for it to be fed.

I hope you don’t take it personally.

I hope you don’t take on the role of victim and wonder, “what is wrong with me?”

I hope you are able to forgive him and that you can still give your children a respectable father. They are young enough to take their ques from you. I’m not saying protect him or lie about him to them, I’m just saying give them space to develop their own relationship and to come to their own conclusions.

My heart goes out to you because I know, no matter how beautiful or smart or creative or talented you are, it hurts and being embarassed makes it just that much harder.

Wayne Dyer says, “what other people think of me is none of my business!” I wish for you to be able to take that mindset on. My hand is on your heart, sending you lots of love and as much peace as possible.

Many blessings

Lori
