Fuzzy,
I am sorry! I hope you feel better soon. I think our world is changing in some way for the worst; perhaps some changes are good, but others definitely suck. One of these changes is that we are missing the golden rule "Whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them", or what simply could be name as "reciprocity".
You and others here including me base our life on reciprocity, and to expect the best from the others; we will not betray others, we have been educated to live in that way. But the world has changed and today lack of reciprocity and betrayal seem to be rules taking the lead. I do not think that this is only a personal situation but a general problem in the world today. I do not know what to do! I wish you the best
