Asking For A Friend
I dont want to carry this baggage forever.
And how do you reset your expectations for people without them being affected by your experiences?
I experienced two friend betrayals last year, and to say my world was rocked is an understatement.
Of course, a parents betrayal is for sure its own beast.
In answering how this betrayal not affect future relationships, Im not sure that it wont.
And thats not necessarily a bad thing; its possible that this happened for you and not against you.
I would take a stab at look at this experience as something that you might grow from.
Ask yourself what the lesson is, as there will be one.
I understand this is easier said than done.
In my case, I had to look at my part of the betrayal.
Accept that people are doing the best they can with the tools that they have.
This is of course a personal choice about whether to be so blunt, but I found it helpful.
Just note that doing so isnt foolproof you should still keep an eye out for your best interests.
Our experiences will affect us; they are supposed to, but in an appropriate way.
Go easy on yourself.
