Sad to hear when this happens.
I also think that abuse and betrayal can trigger anger or rage in people. It doesn't necessarily have to come from the past.
It's quite different to seek out someone in the helping profession for help with your emotions vs effects of an abusive partner. It has quite a different quality to be betrayed by someone who is supposed to have a trustworthy character, who has been privileged with a license to not harm. Also why clergy abuse has a different quality.
