Nothing cuts deeper than knowing you were manipulated and lied to by the person you loved.
The pain of betrayal can be overwhelming, especially when it comes from someone you trusted with your heart. It's like a wound that won't heal, a constant reminder of the lies, the manipulation, and the deceit.
You replay the memories, wondering how you missed the signs, how you didn't see it coming. You question your own judgment, your own worth, and your own sanity. The self-doubt creeps in, making you feel like you're walking on shaky ground.
But here's the thing: you are not to blame. The fault lies with the person who chose to manipulate and deceive. You were a victim of their games, and it's okay to acknowledge the pain and hurt they've caused.
Take the time to heal, to grieve, and to process your emotions. Surround yourself with people who care, who listen, and who validate your feelings. You deserve to be believed, to be heard, and to be loved truthfully. Don't settle for anything less.
