Book cover for The Bigamist: The True Story of a Husband's Ultimate Betrayal
Those of us who have been deceived are made to feel stupid and embarrassed, although we have done nothing but have faith in someone who professed love.

“The truth is, I would have wanted any mother of any sort, as long as she wanted me back. I would have loved her just for loving me in return.”
Camille Griep, Letters to Zell

Dorothy Koomson
“Ned, the thing about seeking forgiveness from someone you’ve hurt is that you’re hurting them again by asking for something else from them. If you’re sorry, say you’re sorry, apologise, let them know you’ve realised the enormity of what you’ve done and won’t do it again, but leave it there. Don’t expect anything else from them. Don’t require them to say they forgive you so you can feel better. Or expect them to move on according to your timetable. Or to even give the whole thing any kind of headspace. Apologise and then leave it. Sit with how you feel about not being forgiven despite how sorry you are. Don’t make it worse.”
Dorothy Koomson, Tell Me Your Secret

Mary Turner Thomson
“Those of us who have been deceived are made to feel stupid and embarrassed, although we have done nothing but have faith in someone who professed love.”
Mary Turner-Thomson, The Bigamist: The True Story of a Husband's Ultimate Betrayal

Michelle Zauner
“We’re all searching for a piece of home, or a piece of ourselves. We look for a taste of it in the food we order and the ingredients we buy. Then we separate.”
Michelle Zauner, Crying in H Mart

Barbara  Davis
“But I’ve come to believe we create our own curses and carry them through life because we’ve been told it’s our lot. We’re taught to relive our mothers’ heartaches, to accept their sufferings as our own, and pass them on to the next generation, again and again, until one of us at long last says no, and the curse is finally broken.”
Barbara Davis, The Keeper of Happy Endings
