Dear avr1962:

It is my guess that when you, avr1962, were a child you were truly betrayed by a parent or both. You were then innocent, competely trusting and betrayed. Then throughout your adulthood there were people who truly betrayed you and often you see betrayal where there is none. If you wrote here an example of betrayal by one of your adult children for example, gave the details, we can examine the story for the real- or imagined (self fulfilling expectation and filtered perception) betrayal. We could separate the real from the imagined, and the imagined from the real. Then you can be angry about the real offenders and make things better with other people, some that … you may betrayed yourself. If you are interested in such courageous examination, please post again.
