[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it weird how the people who should be closest to you and most supportive are the ones who can betray you the most?

My mother was the one who made up lies about me. Thankfully people did not believe her, because they know what sort of person she is.

Stay strong, OP. Build a family of your choosing, with trusted relatives and friends.

OP - Honestly, the betrayal by my parents was more hurtful and traumatizing to me than anything my ex had ever done to me. Other relatives believe me but didn’t want to rock the boat. The relative who spoke up for me now is also practically estranged with my parents (like me, the relationship was often rocky to start with, due to different personalities and politics).

But I have worked with a therapist and why I chose my ex in the first place is based on how I was raised as a child - with contempt and as a scapegoat for the family. So if I had my head on straight I shouldn’t have ever been surprised by their reaction. I guess I should be grateful that this painful experience taught me how to see true human nature instead of seeing people how I wished they were.[/quote]
