A message to Betsy – 
Thank you - you made me better
You were my best teacher
It was my responsibility to see you as you really were
You no longer fool me at all
I do not care about you at all
I pity you
You are a fool to walk out on a man like me – emotional depth, vulnerable, kindness, recovery, sweet, genuine, alive, smart, successful, honest, integrity, humility, funny, I help people, I inspired people, good physical shape, financially blessed, can take car of a woman/family 
Go be who you really are
You did all concerned a horrible disservice by pretending to be someone you never were 
I wish you RECOVERY
If you get in genuine recovery some day you have a lot of amends to make
