Relationships

Betrayal is the deliberate violation of trust, confidence, or a moral standard in a relationship, often causing profound emotional, physical, and psychological distress.
Some of my family was visiting. My spouse told my granddaughter that I’m actually a werewolf who howls at the moon. (Because I was in therapy and take meds.) He acted completely serious. It hurt so much. I was at a loss for words at that moment.
I once heard, in a sermon, that you can only be betrayed by someone close to you. How true. Look at Judas, among others.
Dealing with betrayal involves processing emotions and setting boundaries, while rebuilding trust requires transparency, patience, and consistent, changed behavior.
Later, I called him out on what he said. (I never would’ve done that in the past.) He laughed and never apologized. Like a knife. I have forgiven him but the trust is not returning. It’s just happened too many times. Too many slaps in the face. I try to be a good person. Sometimes, I just want to fold up into myself. The pain is real. I don’t think he’d ever let me leave. Thank you for letting me vent. Love you.

Pain is something everyone experiences, but how you respond to it shapes the kind of person you become. It’s easy to let pain turn into anger, resentment, or distance from others. But it’s much harder, and much more powerful, to process that pain and choose not to pass it on. That choice is what builds emotional strength and creates better relationships and a healthier mindset.

Do you feel like pain has made you more guarded or more compassionate?

I woke recalling too many times I was dismissed by those who assumed and missed the opportunity to https://build.I will never understand people who fake care and https://concern.Those who only show up for information and messengers.
When I got sick,I did, reach out to family.my own dismissed me and my extended,didn't want to tell my mother because,"she'd make it about her".And then my birth fathers sister calls with a complete narrative of BS, then Im, completely, excluded from all Adams side family events,and told through the grapevine I had a complete psychotic nervous breakdown and I'm crazy.
I relive these memories instead of the actual trauma I was in therapy https://for.That is messed up, that is dysfunction at its https://prime.And Im paying the price, my health, my trust and my future is blank because of https://it.I freeze when I find myself hoping https://now.I freeze, when I remember the way, I have been dismissed, thrown aside and https://left.I am grateful for having a son who is still learning,a spouse who provides, a roof over my head, food to eat, pets that are a gift of unconditional love and my many minds, to keep me aware and https://awake.I am sad, defeated everytime,when it comes to building anything with anyone.it is me that wants a relationship with people, who do not want me, so that is my https://issue.I need to see the https://difference.I do not want to be in a family that does not like https://me.Who would?
