Crew, it depends on who has betrayed me and how. I have to really think about who that person is and even their mental stability at the time. I do get very disappointed with some people. But I know that I am up front and honest to others in every way I can be. Does it hurt, yes, and I do suffer from PTSD and there is a good deal of betrayls in my history that I have had to deal with. Yes, unfortunately there have been some people that surprised and deeply disappointed me in my past. Unfortunately some people are shallow Crew and they don't really respect others, and they can be quite charming too, seem really nice and caring.

What you have to do above all else is know yourself Crew. If you know your a good person, really mean well then it is not your fault.

I greive Crew for a time, depending on the situation. I first try very hard to understand what happened and make sure that I am not over reacting and do my best to see the other person's perspective.

Right now, for me, I have been really struggling with PTSD, working with a therapist and it has been hard work, a lot to understand. I have been hurt by others that do not understand what I have, don't want to recognize me and have actually done some very mean things in their ignorance. But, then I think to myself, had I not experienced this myself, I don't know if I would understand it either. So I cannot fully blame others for their ignorance and inability to recognize that they are truely being mean and only adding to the damage rather then giving much needed support.

Crew, I know that you try to be a supportive person, you have a good heart as well.
I know you have your challenges too, not something everyone will understand Crew. I am glad I met you, you were a big help to me as a new member Crew you helped me feel welcome, and I was sure a lost soul when I came here, had no support at home. You have to realize that there are going to be people that will disappoint you Crew. But your not alone in that experience, I can tell you that for sure.

The only thing we can do in our lives is keep trying, know that there will be people that will disappoint us, but there will also be others that reach out to us as well and those are the ones we appreciate in life.
