Actually, it does kind of help to remember that this is a pattern. He can be weak in crisis. If he deserted his wife, deserting me seems less personal.
In time I'll try to feel compassion. But for now, it hurts less to feel angry than to worry.
I'm not so strong myself.
I do remember the god stuff. I remember once he put on his minister hat and listened to my confession, and gave me formal absolution. It was one of the most powerful experiences of my life. Had I quit when I knew who he was, I'd have never experienced that.
But I'm not sure I want to think of those things right now.
