50 + years lost in a blink of an eye

It's interesting when you know a person for over 50 years and find out that the person isn't the person he pretended to be. I don't believe that I've been mislead and betrayed like this before.  Strength of standing up to people is not one of my strong suits.  Curling into a ball and trying to disappear usually works but this time I don't think it will.  This person has lied to his family and sees nothing wrong with it.  Everything seems to be caused by somebody else.  Nothing this person has done was brought on by him.  Intelligence is not one of his strengths but stupidity appears to have won the battle of the brain.  Maybe the organ that won is lower than his brain.  The next few weeks will be interesting,  Thanksgiving is the first big test, the aforementioned person is not invited to the family dinner.  Maybe they have a free dinner in Mobile that will be available.  Enough for now, another rum and coke should help.  Stay tuned.
