when history repeats

Bitter ironies emerged Tuesday when attorneys for Bush-43 and gang used virtually the same general argument many Nazis used, during the Nuremberg trials, in defense of their horrific actions.
You don’t have to be all that old to have already heard many of the moving stories of human tragedy and suffering that occurred during World War II and to have some understanding of how those atrocities helped shape the world we live in today.
Although the establishment’s history re-writers would like us to concentrate primarily on those happening to the people that also happened to have been of Jewish ancestry or faith, tens of millions from all over the world and from many different backgrounds suffered an immeasurable mountain of untold human hardship and anguish, at the blood-soaked hands of multiple dictators and tyrants of the era.
Some estimates have up to as many as 20 million Russians and 15 million Chinese people perishing as a result of military activity and crimes against humanityduring WWII.
Because of the Western powers-that-be and their insatiable appetite to establish the world-government-legitimizing UN they’d been clamoring for and the nation of Israel in occupied Palestine however, the atrocities committed by the Germans, against the Jews specifically, was used primarily by the media, both during and after WWII, as the propaganda for a means to that end. While, on the other hand, virtually ignoring the atrocities committed in the communist countries, many see as far surpassing even the horror inflicted on the Jews during WWII.
This led to the capture of almost the entire NAZI political hierarchy and what’s now known as the “Nuremberg Trials.”
Still being historically regarded as the most publicized, advertised and propagandized trial in the history of mankind, it would eventually lead to virtually the entire NAZI hierarchy being sentenced to death by public hanging. At least those, according to the history books, that didn’t “commit suicide,” prior to either being captured, or convicted.
But not until after routinely making the argument they should all be spared their lives and freedom, because they were only doing “what they were ordered to do” by superior officers and doing what everyone else was doing. In other words, acting within the scope of their federal office or employment at the time of the incidents, or atrocities, in question.
An argument that was rightfully seen by the world and subsequently the small panel of international judges overseeing the trial as an unreasonable defense. Committing atrocities and crimes against humanity was seen back then and will likely always be seen as indefensible. At least, one would think.
Constitutionally defending your country or protecting it from an imminent threat is one thing, but it was obvious there was no rightful justification for unnecessarily invading other nations and committing atrocities such a genocide, torture, eugenics and other crimes against humanity, and the public deaths of every single government official in the NAZI regime was to set a precedent for the rest of the world to take heed.
Thus, the long-standing practice of pretending war crimes can be somehow justified by making arguments such as “orders are orders,” or because everyone else was doing it, or it seemed like the right thing to do at the time, or any of the other excuses used by evil governments and their puppets throughout the ages to justify subverting the God-given rights of others, was no longer going to be tolerated as acceptable. Whether those actions were committed by the common soldier taking orders from a commanding officer, all the way up to the highest levels of government.
Fast forward however to the beginning of the 21st-century and the weeks and months leading up to the War on “Terror,” as one example of just how far the establishment has strayed from those ideals.
It's now widely understood that the American people and subsequently the rest of the world were lied to during the process of initiating the war on terror and the ultimate invasion of Iraq, especially. Almost half of the American people now and 72% of registered Democrats believe that anyone trusting the Western establishment and its media was falsely led to believe Saddam Hussein was harboring some of the very al Qaeda terrorists that were said to have been responsible for the terrorist attacks of 9/11 and, among other things, continued to possess “stockpiles” of weapons of mass destruction.
The desperate and clear message was that if he wasn’t stopped, they said, the results could be catastrophic.
The Bush administration played off of the emotion created by the terror attacks of 9/11, regardless of what you believe took place that day, and sold the American people a bill of goods, with seamless support by the Western media. With grandiose presentations and speeches filled with spectacular exhibits and images, and artificial representations of falsehoods like enemy “mobile weapons labs” and “elaborate underground cities and tunnel systems, complete with electricity and the internet.” All aiming to scare the American people and the citizens of the West into going along with using the American military and its allies to attack multiple countries. All pre-planned (PNAC) and all having very little, if anything, to do with the reason for the aggressive action in the first place.
If "preemptive" attacks weren't carried out on the "axis of evil" (aka, the war-crime of attacking a nation not posing an imminent threat), according to the Bush administration, even the American people could end up seeing the repercussions of not taking action, "in the form of a mushroom cloud," or other forms of WMDs. Fooling the American people and the West into believing the ridiculous notion that Saddam Hussein and/or al Qaeda not only had the ability to acquire nuclear weapons, but also potentially possessing the capability of using them.
But even if the invasion of Iraq was only to "finish what his father, Bush-41, was unable to finish," as many contended was the real reason for the invasion of Iraq, or "for the oil, natural gas and other resources in the area, such as opiates," as many others argued, it's what happened after the invasion and the way the people of Iraq and Afghanistan were treated, both individually and as a people, that has the international community and many of the war’s surviving victims up in arms.
In addition to both Bush, Jr. and Dick Cheney themselves coming right out and admitting to authorizing the torture of prisoners of war, another war crime and violation of the Geneva Conventions (as detailed in the saga of Iraq’s US-controlled Abu Grahib prison), it was the culmination of over one-million innocent Iraqi civilians killed during the sustained dehumanization of a people that not only constitutes war crimes of the highest order, but can only been seen as mirroring the type of policies and actions that were taken by the NAZI regime itself.
In fact, considering how both played out, if one were to be given the details of either story, without being given the names, it may be hard for even the most historically versed to distinguish any meaningful difference between the two.
Both governments not only fooled their citizens into believing they were attacked by someone who had nothing to do with it (the Reichstag Fire in Germany and the 9/11 terror attacks in the US), they also both enacted heat-of-the-moment legislation, in the name of “national security.” Which included policies such as spying on its own citizens and setting up domestic federal police forces (The “Enabling” Act in NAZI Germany and the “Patriot” act in the US). In addition to attacking countries that had nothing to do with it.
After attacking those countries (Poland by Germany and Iraq and Afghanistan by the US), both governments and militaries would also institute policies that would end up being seen as war-crimes, which includes the use of torturing prisoners of war and propagandizing for the dehumanization and degradation of a people and their culture.
And now that some of the victims have begun to come forward to demand justice for themselves and the millions of innocents that have been brutalized by another world tyrant and his band of opportunists, while using a country’s military to cause havoc on a nation, outside of the rule of law and with disregard to humanity and the countless lives they destroyed along the way, it should be of no surprise they would also use the very same type of argument the Nazis used in defense of their actions, while being convicted and punished to death for the crimes they committed during the nightmare of WWII.
Especially now that the Obama administration has merely taken the baton and ran with it, seamlessly continuing on with the same overall foreign-policies of policing the world and preemptive interventionism that defined the post-9/11 Bush era.
In what is likely to go down in the annals however as one of the low points in US and maybe even world history, with regard to seeing justice for the crimes tyrants commit against innocent people, in the class-action case, Saleh v. Bush (N.D. Cal. Mar. 13, 2013, No. C 13 1124 JST), filed March 13, 2013 in a California district court, attorneys for Obama’s Department of Justice, on behalf of the Bush-43 administration, including named defendants Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Powell and Wolfowitz, had the gall to argue in defense of those allegations in an August 14, 2013 filing, by making the shocking statement that each of the defendants:
“Were acting within the scope of their federal office or employment at the time of the incidents out of which Counts I and II of the Complaint in this matter arose.”
Which, according to the complaint, are the war-crimes of conspiring and committing the crime of aggression against the people of Iraq, without cause or the acceptance of the invasion among the international community, and crimes against humanity.
So, in other words, according to the Bush administration, just as the NAZIs had tried to argue almost 70 years earlier to no avail, the excuse ("law") they've used, on multiple occasions now, for committing these war-crimes and sticking a knife through the very heart of the Geneva Conventions, with almost open enthusiasm, in addition to rebuking the wishes of the very UN they created out of the ashes of an almost identical situation, is because for some, all they were doing is following orders and for others, because it seemed like the right thing to do at the time. If you believe the official story.
All while companies like Halliburton (ahem...), bin Laden GroupThe Chertoff GroupBlackwater and others made a killing profiting from the suppression of liberty and on death and destruction, as well as the subsequent rebuilding, of nations unfriendly to their overall geopolitical and economic agenda (aka, "terrorists"). Yet, the whistle-blowers who exposed many of these crimes and the crimes of the current administration, such as Bradley Manning and Edward Snowden, and the journalists who help them do it, are somehow regarded as traitors.
The problem this time however is that the establishment and media behind the persecution of the Nazis are generally the same ones now being accused of doing some of those very things in Iraq and elsewhere. So, how can anyone truly expect any real justice to be served under those circumstances?

BEST KNOWN FOR

Nelson Mandela became the first black president of South Africa in 1994, serving until 1999. A symbol of global peacemaking, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993.
Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918, in Mveso, Transkei, South Africa. Becoming actively involved in the anti-apartheid movement in his 20s, Mandela joined the African National Congress in 1942. For 20 years, he directed a campaign of peaceful, nonviolent defiance against the South African government and its racist policies. In 1993,
Mandela and South African President F.W. de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their efforts to dismantle the country's apartheid system. In 1994, Mandela was inaugurated as South Africa's first black president. In 2009, Mandela's birthday (July 18) was declared "Mandela Day" to promote global peace and celebrate the South African leader's legacy. Mandela died at his home in Johannesburg on December 5, 2013, at age 95.

Early Life

Nelson Mandela was born Rolihlahla Mandela on July 18, 1918, in the tiny village of Mvezo, on the banks of the Mbashe River in Transkei, South Africa. "Rolihlahla" in the Xhosa language literally means "pulling the branch of a tree," but more commonly translates as "troublemaker."
Nelson Mandela's father, who was destined to be a chief, served as a counselor to tribal chiefs for several years, but lost both his title and fortune over a dispute with the local colonial magistrate. Mandela was only an infant at the time, and his father's loss of status forced his mother to move the family to Qunu, an even smaller village north of Mvezo. The village was nestled in a narrow grassy valley; there were no roads, only foot paths that linked the pastures where livestock grazed. The family lived in huts and ate a local harvest of maize, sorghum, pumpkin and beans, which was all they could afford. Water came from springs and streams and cooking was done outdoors. Mandela played the games of young boys, acting out male rights-of-passage scenarios with toys he made from the natural materials available, including tree branches and clay.
At the suggestion of one of his father's friends, Mandela was baptized in the Methodist Church. He went on to become the first in his family to attend school. As was custom at the time, and probably due to the bias of the British educational system in South Africa, Mandela's teacher told him that his new first name would be Nelson.
When Mandela was 9 years old, his father died of lung disease, causing his life to change dramatically. He was adopted by Chief Jongintaba Dalindyebo, the acting regent of the Thembu people—a gesture done as a favor to Mandela's father, who, years earlier, had recommended Jongintaba be made chief. Mandela subsequently left the carefree life he knew in Qunu, fearing that he would never see his village again. He traveled by motorcar to Mqhekezweni, the provincial capital of Thembuland, to the chief's royal residence. Though he had not forgotten his beloved village of Qunu, he quickly adapted to the new, more sophisticated surroundings of Mqhekezweni.
Mandela was given the same status and responsibilities as the regent's two other children, his son and oldest child, Justice, and daughter Nomafu. Mandela took classes in a one-room school next to the palace, studying English, Xhosa, history and geography. It was during this period that Mandela developed an interest in African history,
from elder chiefs who came to the Great Palace on official business. He learned how the African people had lived in relative peace until the coming of the white people. According to the elders, the children of South Africa had previously lived as brothers, but white men had shattered this fellowship. While black men shared their land, air and water with whites, white men took all of these things for themselves.
When Mandela was 16, it was time for him to partake in the traditional African circumcision ritual to mark his entrance into manhood. The ceremony of circumcision was not just a surgical procedure, but an elaborate ritual in preparation for manhood. In African tradition, an uncircumcised man cannot inherit his father's wealth, marry or officiate at tribal rituals. Mandela participated in the ceremony with 25 other boys. He welcomed the opportunity to partake in his people's customs and felt ready to make the transition from boyhood to manhood. His mood shifted during the proceedings, however, when Chief Meligqili, the main speaker at the ceremony, spoke sadly of the young men, explaining that they were enslaved in their own country. Because their land was controlled by white men, they would never have the power to govern themselves, the chief said. He went on to lament that the promise of the young men would be squandered as they struggled to make a living and perform mindless chores for white men. Mandela would later say that while the chief's words didn't make total sense to him at the time, they would eventually formulate his resolve for an independent South Africa.
From the time Mandela came under the guardianship of Regent Jongintaba, he was groomed to assume high office, not as a chief, but a counselor to one. As Thembu royalty, Mandela attended a Wesleyan mission school, the Clarkebury Boarding Institute and Wesleyan College, where, he would later state, he achieved academic success through "plain hard work." He also excelled at track and boxing. Mandela was initially mocked as a "country boy" by his Wesleyan classmates, but eventually became friends with several students, including Mathona, his first female friend.
In 1939, Mandela enrolled at the University College of Fort Hare, the only residential center of higher learning for blacks in South Africa at the time. Fort Hare was considered Africa's equivalent of the University of Oxford or Harvard University, drawing scholars from all parts of sub-Sahara Africa. In his first year at the university, Mandela took the required courses, but focused on Roman Dutch law to prepare for a career in civil service as an interpreter or clerk—regarded as the best profession that a black man could obtain at the time.
In his second year at Fort Hare, Mandela was elected to the Student Representative Council. For some time, students had been dissatisfied with the food and lack of power held by the SRC. During this election, a majority of students voted to boycott unless their demands were met. Aligning with the student majority, Mandela resigned from his position. Seeing this as an act of insubordination,
the university's Dr. Kerr expelled Mandela for the rest of the year and gave him an ultimatum: He could return to the school if he agreed to serve on the SRC. When Mandela returned home, the regent was furious, telling him unequivocally that he would have to recant his decision and go back to school in the fall.

Mandela's Imprisonment

A few weeks after Mandela returned home, Regent Jongintaba announced that he had arranged a marriage for his adopted son. The regent wanted to make sure that Mandela's life was properly planned, and the arrangement was within his right, as tribal custom dictated. Shocked by the news, feeling trapped and believing that he had no other option than to follow this recent order, Mandela ran away from home. He settled in Johannesburg, where he worked a variety of jobs, including as a guard and a clerk, while completing his bachelor's degree via correspondence courses. He then enrolled at the University of Witwatersrand in Johannesburg to study law.
Mandela soon became actively involved in the anti-apartheid movement, joining the African National Congress in 1942. Within the ANC, a small group of young Africans banded together, calling themselves the African National Congress Youth League. Their goal was to transform the ANC into a mass grassroots movement, deriving strength from millions of rural peasants and working people who had no voice under the current regime. Specifically, the group believed that the ANC's old tactics of polite petitioning were ineffective. In 1949, the ANC officially adopted the Youth League's methods of boycott, strike, civil disobedience and non-cooperation, with policy goals of full citizenship, redistribution of land, trade union rights, and free and compulsory education for all children.
For 20 years, Mandela directed peaceful, nonviolent acts of defiance against the South African government and its racist policies, including the 1952 Defiance Campaign and the 1955 Congress of the People. He founded the law firm Mandela and Tambo, partnering with Oliver Tambo, a brilliant student he'd met while attending Fort Hare. The law firm provided free and low-cost legal counsel to unrepresented blacks.
In 1956, Mandela and 150 others were arrested and charged with treason for their political advocacy (they were eventually acquitted). Meanwhile, the ANC was being challenged by Africanists, a new breed of black activists who believed that the pacifist method of the ANC was ineffective. Africanists soon broke away to form the Pan-Africanist Congress, which negatively affected the ANC; by 1959, the movement had lost much of its militant support.
In 1961, Mandela, who was formerly committed to nonviolent protest, began to believe that armed struggle was the only way to achieve change. He subsequently co-founded Umkhonto we Sizwe, also known as MK, an armed offshoot of the ANC dedicated to sabotage and guerilla war tactics to end apartheid. In 1961, Mandela orchestrated a three-day national workers' strike. He was arrested for leading the strike the following year, and was sentenced to five years in prison. In 1963,
Mandela was brought to trial again. This time, he and 10 other ANC leaders were sentenced to life imprisonment for political offenses, including sabotage.
Nelson Mandela was incarcerated on Robben Island for 18 of his 27 years in prison. During this time, he contracted tuberculosis and, as a black political prisoner, received the lowest level of treatment from prison workers. However, while incarcerated, Mandela was able to earn a Bachelor of Law degree through a University of London correspondence program.
A 1981 memoir by South African intelligence agent Gordon Winter described a plot by the South African government to arrange for Mandela's escape so as to shoot him during the recapture; the plot was foiled by British intelligence. Mandela continued to be such a potent symbol of black resistance that a coordinated international campaign for his release was launched, and this international groundswell of support exemplified the power and esteem that Mandela had in the global political community.
In 1982, Mandela and other ANC leaders were moved to Pollsmoor Prison, allegedly to enable contact between them and the South African government. In 1985, President P.W. Botha offered Mandela's release in exchange for renouncing armed struggle; the prisoner flatly rejected the offer. With increasing local and international pressure for his release, the government participated in several talks with Mandela over the ensuing years, but no deal was made. It wasn't until Botha suffered a stroke and was replaced by Frederik Willem de Klerk that Mandela's release was finally announced—on February 11, 1990. De Klerk also unbanned the ANC, removed restrictions on political groups and suspended executions.

Prison Release and Presidency

Upon his release from prison, Nelson Mandela immediately urged foreign powers not to reduce their pressure on the South African government for constitutional reform. While he stated that he was committed to working toward peace, he declared that the ANC's armed struggle would continue until the black majority received the right to vote.
In 1991, Mandela was elected president of the African National Congress, with lifelong friend and colleague Oliver Tambo serving as national chairperson. Mandela continued to negotiate with President F.W. de Klerk toward the country's first multiracial elections. White South Africans were willing to share power, but many black South Africans wanted a complete transfer of power. The negotiations were often strained and news of violent eruptions, including the assassination of ANC leader Chris Hani, continued throughout the country.
Mandela had to keep a delicate balance of political pressure and intense negotiations amid the demonstrations and armed resistance.
In 1993, Mandela and President de Klerk were jointly awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for their work toward dismantling apartheid. And due in no small part to their work, negotiations between black and white South Africans prevailed: On April 27, 1994,
South Africa held its first democratic elections. Nelson Mandela was inaugurated as the country's first black president on May 10, 1994, at the age of 77, with de Klerk as his first deputy.
Also in 1994, Mandela published an autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom, much of which he had secretly written while in prison. The following year, he was awarded the Order of Merit.
From 1994 until June 1999, Mandela worked to bring about the transition from minority rule and apartheid to black majority rule. He used the nation's enthusiasm for sports as a pivot point to promote reconciliation between whites and blacks, encouraging black South Africans to support the once-hated national rugby team. In 1995, South Africa came to the world stage by hosting the Rugby World Cup, which brought further recognition and prestige to the young republic.
Mandela also worked to protect South Africa's economy from collapse during his presidency. Through his Reconstruction and Development Plan, the South African government funded the creation of jobs, housing and basic health care. In 1996, Mandela signed into law a new constitution for the nation, establishing a strong central government based on majority rule, and guaranteeing both the rights of minorities and the freedom of expression.

Retirement and Later Career

By the 1999 general election, Nelson Mandela had retired from active politics. He continued to maintain a busy schedule, however, raising money to build schools and clinics in South Africa's rural heartland through his foundation, and serving as a mediator in Burundi's civil war. He also published a number of books on his life and struggles, among them No Easy Walk to FreedomNelson Mandela: The Struggle is my Life; and Nelson Mandela's Favorite African Folktales.
Mandela was diagnosed and treated for prostate cancer in 2001. In June 2004, at the age of 85, he announced his formal retirement from public life and returned to his native village of Qunu.
On July 18, 2007, Mandela convened a group of world leaders, including Graca Machel (whom Mandela would wed in 1998),Desmond TutuKofi Annan, Ela Bhatt, Gro Harlem Brundtland,Jimmy Carter, Li Zhaoxing, Mary Robinson and Muhammad Yunus, to address some of the world's toughest issues. Aiming to work both publicly and privately to find solutions to problems around the globe, the group was aptly named "The Elders." The Elders' impact has spanned Asia, the Middle East and Africa, and their actions have included promoting peace and women's equality, demanding an end to atrocities, and supporting initiatives to address humanitarian crises and promote democracy.
In addition to advocating for peace and equality on both a national and global scale, in his later years, Mandela remained committed to the fight against AIDS—a disease that killed Mandela's son, Makgatho, in 2005.

In Recent Years

Nelson Mandela made his last public appearance at the final match of the World Cup in South Africa in 2010. He remained largely out of the spotlight in his later years, choosing to spend much of his time in his childhood community of Qunu, south of Johannesburg. He did, however, visit with U.S. first lady Michelle Obama, wife of President Barack Obama,
during her trip to South Africa in 2011. 
After suffering a lung infection in January 2011, Mandela was briefly hospitalized in Johannesburg to undergo surgery for a stomach ailment in early 2012. He was released after a few days, later returning to Qunu. Mandela would be hospitalized many times over the next several years—in December 2012, March 2013 and June 2013—for further testing and medical treatment relating to his recurrent lung infection. Following his June 2013 hospital visit, Mandela's wife, Graca Machel, canceled a scheduled appearance in London to remain at her husband's his side, and his daughter, Zenani Dlamini, Argentina's South African ambassador, flew back to South Africa to be with her father. Jacob Zuma, South Africa's president, issued a statement in response to public concern over Mandela's March 2013 health scare, asking for support in the form of prayer: "We appeal to the people of South Africa and the world to pray for our beloved Madiba and his family and to keep them in their thoughts," Zuma said.

Death and Legacy

On December 5, 2013, at the age of 95, Nelson Mandela died at his home in Johannesburg, South Africa. Zuma released a statement later that day, in which he spoke to Mandela's legacy: "Wherever we are in the country, wherever we are in the world, let us reaffirm his vision of a society ... in which none is exploited, oppressed or dispossessed by another," he said. For decades to come, Nelson Mandela will continue to be a source of inspiration for civil rights activists worldwide.
In 2009, Mandela's birthday (July 18) was declared Mandela Day, an international day to promote global peace and celebrate the South African leader's legacy. According to the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory, the annual event is meant to encourage citizens worldwide to give back the way that Mandela has throughout his lifetime. A statement on the Nelson Mandela Centre of Memory's website reads: "Mr. Mandela gave 67 years of his life fighting for the rights of humanity. All we are asking is that everyone gives 67 minutes of their time, whether it's supporting your chosen charity or serving your local community."

Personal Life

Mandela was married three times, beginning with Evelyn Ntoko Mase (m. 1944-1957). The couple had four children together: Madiba Thembekile, Makgatho (d. 2005), Makaziwe and Maki. Mandela wed Winnie Madikizela in 1958; the couple had two daughters together, Zenani and Zindziswa, before splitting in 1996. Two years later, Mandela married Graca Machel, with whom he remained until his death in 2013.

....After 30 years of marriage discovered betrayal of my husband....


I do not think I could ever get to me what happened to me and many others have gone before me. But the experience of betrayal it looks terrible, especially when you are in a certain age. I always thought our relationship was based on age to respect and sense of responsibility to the family rather than to physical or sexual attraction. Certainly, every relationship has to keep his dose of love, but over the years things change and it seems inconceivable that may become a victim of betrayal.
I am a 47 years old lady. I have a son in high school, studying abroad for 3 years. I know and am married to my husband with love. He was a good man, even though I was what was most fond family. Having spent almost 30 years together, I know that this man that I have always appreciated, betray me before my eyes. There is no greater disappointment. Suddenly caught a hate me for it, as I can not believe that I can love.
We have two houses in the same house, one of which we have left lease of 5 years. Two girls living there, who just finished high school, found a job in Tirana and continue to stay here. Since many years they stay in our house, we have created a kind of confidence. We help whenever we have needed, for it is the little things. I treat as if they were my children, because I own a guy who is only a few years younger than them. Most unfortunate because there are far from family and faced with life itself. But behold qenkam wrong in my judgment.
There is not much time to one of the girls asked me drinking a coffee near my work. I thought there would be any trouble and would need help. Although it seemed strange that asked me not drinking coffee at my house, as usually do. I do not mind and killed many came to see him. She seemed to cry. I began to take the good with the calm and say that there is nothing that does not go in this life. How stupid I felt myself later, when I remembered the words that I say! We sat down and she was reluctant to speak. He told me that he was very ashamed of what had happened and that will tell me. Initially apologized and was excused for what he had done. So far I have not heard anything about what had happened, but I thought of that would have happened anything from home, probably had broken any furniture or anything else and it seemed absurd to cry so much. I told him not to worry that there was something irreparable. But never, for one moment, not what came to mind would say.
He began to speak more plainly, his voice trembling and tears flowed unceasingly. He said he had a relationship with my husband. At that moment I wondered, could not believe my ears and I could not even speak. Had more than two years were related. My husband could be her father, but this did not prevent the girl (do not want to put in the newspaper epithets, though deserving) of plugged. Neither the fact that he was married and she knew very well they did not hesitate. There was no thought to the fact that this is a family destroyed. According to her, one can not command dot heart and love knew no age. So justify connection with my husband.
Having said all these, the soul came from a question where I expected to find salvation: Are you kidding right? Ma confirmed again that what he said was true. If I started to pull myself together and asked why he had come to show me. According to her, my husband wanted to divorce me, but did not dare say to me. Since the girl was brave, apparently, she had taken over the mission. My husband told me he wanted to start a new life with him and that I should not obstructing. It was incredible what she had courage girl. I told my husband that he was free to take their own decisions for themselves. I said I would talk to her husband and when her words proves to be what I was going to ask to separate from him, because I could not live with a man who had so shamefully betrayed, even at home my.
When I got home I asked for those who had told the girl. He denied everything and said it devise, but for what reason she had to invent all this madness he had no idea. Of course I brought from home because they had no more sense tenant to continue to live in my house after all the trouble that I had created. Began discussions with the husband, who admitted no word from them that the girl had said. I do not know why I believed the girl, even though I hate the soul. Replies husband not persuade me.
I told my close friend what had happened and she said that she did not want to bother me, but also what people had said that they had seen. It fills me think. But in our midst was a child. The boy was away and did not want to worry. On the other hand, can not say what had happened he would know a day.
Asked divorce request, even though we go forward to sit in a house. I asked my son to come home, without saying why. He found his opportunity and came. When I told him that I was in what position, said he would support me whatever my decision, even though he did not like his parents are divorced. Now I am following the divorce proceedings.
This sudden life-changing experience and made me do things that I had ever imagined it could happen to me. I do not know why I decided to make this story public, but if somehow eases the pain when I share it with other people, whether they and the unknown.
