How wonderful! And I am so happy that you give praise and credit to God for looking after you and providing for your needs. In the end you have love and security in Him, rather than in any man. Life has not been easy for you, but you are an overcomer. Well written.

I'm so glad that you are free of that ex-husband who did not keep his marriage vow to love you and care for you. But you found true love, blessings, healing, and security in the Lord. Nothing compares to that! Thanks for sharing!

Comment from K.L. Rockquemore
This is a powerfully moving poem!!
Full of heartbreak, despair, rejection, freedom, regret, remorse, perseverance and most importantly an unbreakable love of self!!!!
How lucky you are to have created a new life for yourself, you should feel unbelievably proud!!
This is an intense piece that is descriptively written and well presented.
I had a positive reaction to the use of your faith peppered throughout, giving the reader an anchor.
All the best to you, thanks for sharing.

Ramona, I can feel the deep pain in your poem. It is so wonderful you didn't give up. Your poem flowed well; it read like a story. I am so glad you have faith in God to carry on. By not holding on bitterness sets a person free to move forward and not look back. You are doing this. May God bless and keep you.

You did a great job sharing this personal journey, Ramona.
As I was reading, I made a mental note of all the things that
were wrong your ex did. Then when I got to the part where
things changed for You by your perseverance and love of God,
I cheered. I'm thrilled for you and wish you well. You've come
a long way.
Take care, Jan

Comment from jake cosmos aller
very powerful and moving poem about betrayal by someone close to you. Recently, my mother-in-law and brother-in-law stole two rental properties that my wife had been managing for years. they took control over the properties knowing that the arrangement we had to manage the properties in exchange for rent was not legally kosher and we could not sue them so in the dead of night they took them back screwing us out of a half million dollars. karma is a bitch they say.

I?m so sorry to hear that Jake. As you say Karma is a bitch. Hang in there and put your faith in the Lord. I do believe what goes around comes around. You will be rewarded in time. Blessings.
Comment from Sandra Nelms-Ludwig
It is a good, heartfelt poem. I like that you used a colorful background and colorful font. However, the font size is too small. If you enlarge it more readers may engage with your text. Just go to edit poem and highlight your entire poem. Then press at the same time the keys Ctrl and the + plus sign and then save the poem. the keys Ctrl and the-minus sign will make the text smaller.
There are several areas you need to make corrections:
*Who's in the first line should be the possessive word~whose.
*You have a lot of me's in your poem. You could combine some ideas so you wouldn't have so many. For example, this line~tricked me and lied to me. Could be written~ you tricked and lied to me.
* You have written some words with capital letters that should be written with lowercase letters:Country, New Beginning. If that is for emphasis I understand.

Sandra, Admittedly grammar is a weak point of mine. Thank you for this valuable feedback.
-
You are most welcome. I will help you in that area. I am a retired middle school and high school English teacher. We all make grammar errors, including me.
-
Thank you Sandra! My beloved grandmother was an educator. I will take all the advice you have to offer. You are very kind.

You are most welcome.
Comment from Lilly Flowers
I'm so sorry you went through such a terrible ordeal. I was hoping this wasn't autobiographical when I was reading it, but your notes told me it was. Thank God you came through that terrible relationship. And even though it sounds like you still have challenges you're dealing with, I'm glad you find strength in God. Regards, Lilly

If this challenge gave you additional relief from the memories posted I am glad, I originated it. If it resurrects memories negatively, I wish I never would have posted the contest.

Comment from Michele Harber
You continue to impress me with your courage, resilience and writing skill. Your justifiable pain and anger bleed through every line, but I have so much respect for the fact that you didn't let them rule your life. Instead, you relied on your strength and faith and turned your life around.
You express your feelings in a way that is raw and brave, and brings the reader to your side from the first line. Congratulations on creating a new and better life!

Michelle, thank you. I?m glad I could touch you with my story. I really appreciate your review.
-
You truly did touch me. My daughter struggles with various conditions, and I wish she would find an artistic outlet, rather than letting her frustration out in yelling and cursing.
-
I truly hope that she finds her path and her healthy outlet. Having something like writing to focus your energies on in a positive way can make such a difference when you struggle with pain in your life.Having faith in a higher power and giving your faith to God can have such a positive impact on your entire life. I found once I gave up control and let go of my anger my life became so much easier and my life got so much easier and the anger and bitterness I was feeling went away.
