    The most painful betrayal is the one you love and trust the most. It hits you like a semi truck!!

    This is so hard to process😔
    Especially when the other person doesn’t take accountability for their actions.

    Spousal betrayal makes you feel humiliated… so hard to ever trust again.

    I lost my job because my former coworker spread lies about me to my supervisors behind my back, and everything has been a struggle. I'm tired of trusting people.

    In "The Inferno" by Dante, the lowest level of Hell is occupied by people who betray. It's a pleasant thought, in a dark sort of way. Always got to be careful not to become what you hate.

    Betrayal hurts the most when you never even did anything to the person. now I want revenge but know it’s better if I just move on :(

    Took me 25 years of therapy to get past parental betrayal trauma, only to have my husband of 27 years do the same. I’ve just left the marriage and struggling to go on.

    The worst is when your father or mother do not defend you. That can break anyone. Just letting people be aware how damaging that can be. I am done with society as a whole. I heard someone say that this construct is a huge mind game. It really is.

    I've had three big betrayals with peers in my adolescence, I'm 25 now and in therapy over this. I thought I had lost my sanity in my youth.

    Betrayal should be considered a heavy crime by law! The damage caused to victims is countless and is not treated in just one way and is not cured quickly. The attackers had to pay extra compensation to the victims, who knows, maybe they would betray less! I have been betrayed by a romantic partner, by friends, by family and by companies I worked for. I only recommend this to my worst enemy, because these betrayals are horrible and that of romantic partners and family are the worst betrayals there are.
    Those betrayals changes you, and not in a good way. I don't know if one day I will feel better again. Probably I won't!

    Got out of a toxic relationship a year ago. It was a lifelong friend that I have had since childhood. When we began a relationship I was over the moon, I figured since we knew each other so well and cared for each other so deeply as friends our relationship would be amazing. boy was I wrong. I think betrayal trauma can happen when you thought you knew someone's character and who they were, and you have years of experience to back up those beliefs, years of good memories and times when they seemed empathetic, yet suddenly they transform into someone completely different - cold, uncaring, blame shifting, callous, passive aggressive, controlling, and manipulative. The cognitivie dissonance still has a strong grip on me one year out. I am still wondering what I Could have done better or differently to make us work, and still feel shattered thinking about how she moved on so easily while I am still confused and broken trying to make sense of everything. This video is really helpful, thank you
