I don't know who originated the saying, but Maya Angelou always said, "When people show you who they are, believe them."  Oh yeah.

@Shanus  That's the point.  People make an effort to behave well at the first meeting.  First impressions and all.

It's when they get used to you that they let slip "If they have the tendancey to do so" with their true behaviours. It's hardly evey a one time slip. 

The first time someone SHOWS  You Who they REALLY are Believe them.

Truely words to stay alive by.

@Foxxee ....thank you. You have no idea how much I needed that wake up call today. I have been in denial way too long.

I promise to remind myself every day that I am strong, courageous, and resilient.

You can also learn a lot about someone by how they treat animals. When I was first started dating my husband he was giving his Shepard Tippy a bath. He was so gentle with her, making sure the water temperature was right, lowering Tippy into the tub. I thought he was one special guy.
