Trust is one of the most abused word. You trust people wholeheartedly and they betray you at the end. Some stab you at the back, it hurt badly. You whole heatedly tell your best friend about your relationship before you know it they have gone behind your back to tell nasty things about you in other to take your man/girl. Betrayal happens in every area of our lives ,it really hurt.
Have you been betrayed by a trusted friend before, how did you feel & how did you handle it?

in my opinion if s person betrays you then he is not your friend, as friends can never betray !
Yes, some people back stab sometimes for their vested interests which I experienced when I was in my College, but no regrets they gained nothing much by doing so except the guilty consciousness! Thanks!

@SirPeters My mother had an issue with me from the beginning I think. She blamed me for having epilepsy because I walked out in front of a car when I was three yrs old and was hit. She was driving.
When I told her about my stepfather sexually abusing me, she turned on me and not him. I was twelve yrs old.
She "bought" my daughter's love and would talk about me to her behind my back. I remember one day when my daughter was 7 or 8 yrs old, she came home from spending a weekend with my mother and out of the blue she said; "Guess what nanny said?"
I said; "What did nanny say?"
She said; "Nanny said that you will never be a grandmother to my kids like she is to me."
That floored me!
My MOTHER said that to my DAUGHTER about ME.
I was a single mother and when my daughter was 16 I was going through a rough spell and her and I were separated. No matter how hard I tried to keep it together, forces beyond my control were at play and nothing was going my way. My mother convinced my daughter that I had abandoned her. She also convinced my siblings and as many other people that she could that I was a deadbeat mom and abandoned my daughter.
She was there for my daughter 100% but she was not there for me. Ever.
My mother is gone now. She passed 4 years ago.
I am trying to reestablish trust between myself, my siblings and my daughter. Trying to undo the mess my mother created for me.

@Starmaiden Very pathetic indeed. You were just a kid when the accident happened and it wasn't your fault. I think something is wrong somewhere that is yet to be understood. May your mum soul rest in peace. Now that you are trying to reunite with your family, I pray you get the wisdom, knowledge and understanding to go about it. Please be patient as you work towards the unity of your family. May there be love and unity in your home and may you all live together happily ever after. Thank for sharing.

@swayamsiddha Back in college I had a friend who was jealous of my academic success. She went to tell other friends that I was involved in exams malpractice hence am having good grades. I was really hurt because I studied hard to get my grades. He Marred my image .

I think everyone been betrayed by someone at some point. I try my best not to tell anyone anything personal about me, because I find that some people like to be friend you to find out personal things to twist them around then spread rumors about you to make you look bad. I think the best thing to do is keep that person out of your life and don't tell your personal business.

You are right. Not everyone is worthy to know you personal stuff. Some are wolves in sheep clothing
