So Worthless... April 12, 1652
Heavens! It's been four months since I've written in my journal. Iv'e been to depressed to write. So much on my little poor heart.So much has happened in the last four months. My husband comitteth adultery. It broke me asunder. Even though I knew this was true, it still hurt when i caught them together in my room. They didn't see it coming and neither did I. I'm only living with my oldest son Adam. My other son Matthew left us with his father. I heard a rumor that the woman that my husband was sleeping with was a witch. I cannot believe it! I lost myhusband to a snotty witch. I feel so worthless. This has been happening since the witch trials started. Which was 7 months ago in June. That explains why he was never home. Everytime he would come home late it was a day that the witch trials happened. Everyone would talk about her, her name is Midred Paris. I always had a bad feeling about her. The town would talk because she didn't like to go to church. Obviously because she was possessed! Well I don't even know if she's a witch or not. He's a fool for leaving me.My son and I are going to live a happy life. Good thing i saved money for my son Adam. I don't think I'll be alive for very long. Did I forget to mention I'm writing with only one eye. That was only 4 months. I can't imagine 1 year. I don't know where me and my son are going to live! I feel as though he's the one taking care of me. I'm the mother I should be watching over him. I hope my son doesn't get involved with a witch. Maybe I should go out and search for another husband. Right now I just feel worthless and I don't want to feel this way anymore. I'll find me a real man who knows how to treat a lady. I think I'll start tommarrow:)
