Moving On

It could be said that all of the different parties involved had indeed moved on simply because there was no other choice and yet she saw the scars left from the battle that neither side had really won. The innocents had suffered the most as is usually the case in any situation such as this. The early years following the tragedy had gone by without much to show for them at least in her life as she spent day after day in a vacuum numb with the pain that she did not know how to climb out of. Her fairy tale had turned into a nightmare created by a lifelong secret that had somehow found it's way out of the darkness and into the light of day. Knowledge that she had not been prepared for and therefore had challenged everything that she thought she knew about herself and her family. Nothing was real and everything that she valued had become a lie, the sense of betrayel that invaded her heart and mind clear down to where her soul lived would forever change her.
