Becoming the best version of yourself

When Push Comes To Shove ?

on November 17, 2023

Lots of conflicting emotions currently.

Tonight, I, along with my #2 son and wife, watched the first episode of the final season of “The Crown”. I’m currently staying with them and my grands in H-Town for a month. Enjoying my grandkids goes without saying, but sometimes you do miss your space – since I’ve been in my own space now for so long.

I was excited to start watching The Crown, but have to admit that the season starts off with “Charles” wanting the “people” to accept “Camilla” and for someone that’s been through that – I am NOT rooting for her. Truthfully, feels a bit weird watching it with my son and daughter n’law because as a product of a failed marriage due to adultery, I am not going to come down on the side of whiny Charles being upset that “Mommy” didn’t attend the big birthday bash he threw for “her” – Camilla.

I got a bit squirmy. But when “push comes to shove”?? Adultery?? Nope – not ever gonna think you can white wash it and it’s justified. Sorry, not sorry.

Just had to get it “out” tonight before turning off the light and trying to go to sleep (while remembering what it felt like to be cheated on). In this Netflix show, we all know what’s coming, but doesn’t make it any easier to swallow.

In the end, we all need to be true to each other. Thanks for always being so patient with me.

    Hi, Lynda,  I woke up early and read your post about The Crown. How uncomfortable that must have been to watch. Yucky cheaters.  I grew up in a broken family. Plus I worked around family law for 25 years so I’ve seen quite a few affairs. They have one thing in common — every cheater, including Charles and Camilla, feels they have a free pass because of their special circumstance. Charles needed a breeder for heirs, my dad wasn’t allowed to drink at home, the famous  “we’ve grown apart” … there’s always a Very Good Excuse, plus a reason the womanizer (or manizer) doesn’t just get a divorce and date all they want.  “It’s okay for me to do this because of me Special Situation.” That’s my two cents worth. Have happy holidays!  Love, Lynell

    I completely understand and empathize with you! I never got over the fact that he cheated on Diana either and that was long before I found out about my ex-husband’s escapades. It’s so far outside of my value system, I will never comprehend. So sorry you are re-living it all again.
