#familybetrayal

It's betrayal if it feels like a deep violation of trust, breaks your boundaries, and causes significant emotional pain. Think about whether their actions were intentionally hurtful or disregarded your feelings, and if it fundamentally changed how you see them.

Forgiveness is a personal choice, and it's okay if you're not ready (or never are!). Healing can happen even without forgiveness. Focus on setting boundaries, processing your emotions, and prioritizing your own well-being, regardless of whether you reconcile with the person who betrayed you.

Allow yourself to feel your emotions – anger, sadness, confusion – without judgment. Talk to a trusted friend, therapist, or support group. Setting healthy boundaries, practicing self-care, and focusing on your own emotional well-being are super important for moving forward.
