💔Wounded by Betrayal

The people who were supposed to be there for you—weren't ❌. Whether they left by choice, through death, addictions, personality flaws or by bringing you into a blended family, the message life was sending to you was clear: you can't count on your parent being there for you. This wasn't just loss—it was betrayal of the core promise that every parent makes to their child. You learned that even the people who say they love you most will put their own needs, desires, or circumstances ahead of yours. Now you're always scanning for signs that people are about to abandon you or let you down, because experience taught you that not all meaningful relationships are to be trusted.
