Dear Annie:

His betrayal of you was horrible indeed, is horrible because you still suffer for it. I know the feeling of being betrayed, how it shatters one’s world, sort of creates a hole in the ground where I kept falling and falling. I remember.

“That secret was all I had and now I am exposed within family”- but you do have more, the life in you, the life that is yet to be lived, things to discover, to learn. Protect that life that is left from people who don’t deserve you in their lives.

I am sorry you were betrayed by him. I wish it didn’t happen.

When I was betrayed I felt I deserved it. Now I understand that I didn’t deserve it.
