[quote=Anonymous]Hi OP,

I get it!! I really do. Ignore all the dumb posters who lack the imagination to understand you can be betrayed very badly by a non-spouse without someone, God forbid, sexually abusing your children.

I've lived through the equivalent of having a family member write a mean-spirited tell-all about me -- I'm not Jennifer Anniston, but think to the tune of when Jennifer Anniston's mom wrote a negative book about her. A primal betrayal and emotionally abusive.

I also have a more distant family member who swindled an immediate family member of mine out of millions of dollars. Betrayal and financially abusive. Criminal, actually.

So I understand that someone very close to you can betray you in a way that rocks your world and leaves you questioning everything.

What worked for me:

-- Therapy, including EMDR

-- Cutting them off without looking back (this is very hard)

-- Slowly rebuilding my life in a new way. The best revenge is (1) living well and (2) no longer caring. I exceeded what I though I was capable of with #1 and never ever thought I would achieve #2, but I got there and it is very satisfying. [/quote]
