Question/suggestions:
How do others cope when someone has betrayed you...I've moved on, but the have maintained friendships with some of my close family and friends?
When that person shows up at a kid's bday or a baptism, and the betrayer approaches, what do you do?
I have removed that toxicity from my life, but they periodically pop up in my life through other associations.
Do you remove the specific people from your life, too?
When I say, you don't seem to understand, that person is a wolf in sheep's clothing and they deeply wounded me, they say, "oh, but he's such a great guy!!!"
Well, sure to you...you haven't given him an opportunity to betray you, yet.
***also, it appears that he purposely seeks out important people in my life and develops close relationships with them, when he normally, would not have. As the recent example: I have a birth daughter who was in our wedding. She is now an adult. He sought out my birth daughter and adoptive parents and has developed a relationship with them.
Thank you for your insight.

You know perfectly that you can only change what you accept....never forget that there are two kinds of pain, the one that hurts and the one that makes you change.
