Have you felt so betrayed?

I am so much in disgust now. The other day, I wrote here about a friend that I feel bad about. I entrusted her of certain amount and nothing, like zero, returned back. Only 3% of the whole amount was returned because I threatened her of exposing her distrust. Here was when I threatened her: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1464309.aspx She did not comply as agreed upon so I did expose her in the program she is with now. I made a thorough long letter sent to her team and all the coaches of the program. The head coach called me upon reading the letter and in disgust and told me that I owe an apology for the disrespect and irresponsible move I made to the whole coaching team for dragging them into my personal problem with that friend of mine. I should have taken the problem responsibly. I was quite confused. It was never my intention to be doing so. I just need some help and a support. I am not exposing something just to spread gossip and put shame into the whole team. I wanted to save other people's trust as well. I learned that she borrowed money from others in her team and I feel like I am in responsibility to expose it so that they will know how she deals with her loans so they will not be a victim like me. I feel to betrayed and I shouldn't have trusted that team and should just kept it to myself and just went to the lawyer to do what they have to do and that's it. I'll just see her in court. It was really a wrong move and a mistake I guess. Do I need to make another letter of apology? Here's a portion of my letter I sent to them: [i]I wasn't able to contact her since then. I have several calls to her yesterday that she missed. We made an agreement and she set a date but didn't comply with it. She set the date and she made the commitment. On the day when what was committed is due, she said she will recommit so I have given her another chance. What is actually due is due since last year. Last year up to this year is too long for many more considerations. (Too many chances and my patience and is eating me up like hell. Forgive my trust and patience.) Whew! I was even calling her but completely ignoring my calls. Who am I suppose to run after now? You guys can help me this time. Please do let her know we are calling her and "running" after her. Please just remind her that people are painstakingly waiting until she do what she has repeatedly committing. Your support is the biggest blessing I can ask from your team and will be of help. We are all responsible for every undertaking we get ourselves into, right? I feel bad, I gave that trust to her. Please let her know. And you may ask from her more about what it is. Thanks. She knows her responsibilities. If she doesn't comply with the agreement, I'm sorry but I will let others do what they are authorized to do. I will be sorry but I have to excuse myself already, if that is the only remedy left, what must I do more, right? I did my part and enough is enough.. I'm not perfect and I have faults, so I need your help and your support. Thank you all for your love, your help, and for your time.[/i] I need your advise?

What happened between you and her had nothing to do with her coaching team so I think you may have made a mistake there. This is a personal issue between you both only. Someone in your last discussion suggested court action, maybe you should pursue that instead. Good luck!

Yes, I just realized what a gross mistake to have it exposed to them. Thank you for that advise. I rather pursue a legal action and have to personally make an apology to the whole team. I messed up and I learned. It was such a bad move really.

That's a good idea to apologise to the whole team and then move on with the court action. Good Luck jeannie!

Ohh, sorry, I didn't know. It was suppose to be a reference. Arrhg! I went in and read the guidelines.. I just hope they wouldn't think it as a to collect more responses to it. It was meant to refer to it and so no one get confused about what I am trying to point out. Anyway, thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it very much.

Sometimes temper lead to wrong decisions but the one you did is alright. Is she your friend? Because if she is, why don't you talk about it in just and good manner jean. Maybe your patience reach its boiling point. That lead you to unleash your anger. But in a way you did great on this one. Why did you trust her jean? how connected are you both?

Yes, she is a friend but since July 2007 she has ignored me and hide away from me. I never knew her whereabouts until I heard she took the same program I went through and so I went in and attended some of the programs activities (that's a privilege being a graduate of that program) just to look for her and talk to her but still she ignored me. I have threatened her that I'll expose my concerns to the whole coaching team if she continually ignores my demands but still ignores it so I just exposed it through email and the head coach called me saying that I handed the situation irresponsibly. Well, I understood the coach and I should have talk to her coach first before doing sending an email to the yahoo groups of the whole coaching team. I got what I intended to, their help and support, that was what the coach promised me. I feel bad I trusted her. I've just meet her through a friend. I don't know but I just feel sad I was really betrayed by that friend. And I can't just get to be silent and wish. I thought it was the right move but it wasn't. I messed up really but I learned. T'was sad though.

hi jeanniemay... whoa! USD2500 it is large amount of money how did she borrowed it from you? one time? or several times? and for what use is the money? is it emergency? personally if someone will borrow money from me i would check first: 1) credibility of the person if he/she able to pays debt on time or not. and the situation. 2) the amount of money and my capacity to lend. 3) if he/she is unable to pay debt but its emergency. i can help provided the amount wont bite me... i would probably give it as charity. 4) if not sorry i don't have money right now. for what happened i agree its really a wrong move and a mistake....sometimes we tend to make wrong decision when in a state of angry mind. but i saw you are a very intelligent person. just give proper time to think and i believe you can come up with a good solution...so for now I wish you good luck!!! ^_^ Smile Always...

Yes, it was truly a mistake that I gave my trust. I knew her and how she works with her credit status in the past and never even have thought it would come like this. She is able to pay it but only ignores doing it. I lost other's trust because of her. I guaranteed her, I suretized her. So much pain. Whew! I just hope I can work back gaining others trust. I cannot earn back money lost and I just don't mind it now. I need to work on gaining and making the remedy to also pay in her behalf to those people whom she owed because I guaranteed and suretized her. Yes, apart from what she owed me. She set me up like hell. I am blazing with so much emotional torture and so I have to just regain back my composure and learn from the experience. Thank you for the help.
