It is hard to have trusted someone and find them out in a terrible series of lies they gave you in order to get their way. To find out she did this at the age of 74 is even more horrible as this is obviously a personality trait. When asked to admit to her lies she refused and tried not only to circumvent my authority but also to interfere with the very process that will make the magazine financially viable.
It is never too late to learn about human character but it is always a shocking hurt to be so betrayed.
