Betrayal and forgiveness, continued...

Forgiveness is extremely empowering especially when you’ve maintained some sort of relationship with this person in your life. Although, I must say this, if you are forgiving again and again and allowing this person to step back into the same place in your life, you must REMEMBER and protect yourself. You have not learned your lesson from this experience if it continues to harm you.

I look at it this way, we are all human and we mess up at times, the first time is a mistake. The second time, is really bullshit and someone else’s dysfunction is getting in the way of your health.

Now, it depends on the situation. If you are talking about immediate family, for example a child with a drug addiction, I will forgive time and time again but I will make sure I am not enabling. The tough love process is really difficult but necessary in this scenario. Although, if you are talking about a cheating spouse who continues in infidelity time and time again, gather your self worth and move on. Remember the experience, understand if you were just caught in the crossfire or part of the dysfunction and empower yourself with this information then find someone who deserves your partnership!

In this scenario, it is especially important to forgive because by doing so you dissolve the toxin within and change it to a loving energy otherwise you will attract another cheater.

Forgiveness from betrayal takes work but the effort is worth it, what are your thoughts about it?

To surrender somebody or something treacherously, continued...

I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone who hasn't felt the wrath of betrayal. I truly believe it is the worst pain. Why, because it is an intentional act of distrust by a dear friend or family member. I've been betrayed many times in my life. It is like a shape-shifting negative plasma that manifests in new ways. I've been betrayed by friends and family in my home life and by trusted work associates in my career. Each and every time, I want to kick myself for giving someone else the benefit of the doubt. My soul seems to take a hit, heal and then take another blow in a whole new way.

I must admit though, I am genuinely putting myself back out there as I stand back up after each near fatal kick. I take the situation apart, reliving the highlights, to analyze what went wrong. It is important for me to learn and grow from the heartache. I also, where possible, remove myself from the likes of the person and/or environment that treated me like a door matt; working to forgive but never forgetting. I wouldn't wish this on anyone but it is part of life. It teaches us to better read character, to see beyond the surface and to follow our initial instincts.

I'm a far better and more educated person because of it. What have you learned from the act of betrayal? Leave me a note.
