I've been stabbed in the back by those I needed most. this is unfortunately true! I just wonder how your family could betray you, however some people will do anything for money! so sad.

I've been lied to by those I love. And I have felt alone when I couldn't afford to be. But at the end of the day,  I don't think this is sad at all. It's a hard lesson, but once you get it your ability to love yourself is so strong you are able to appreciate those really great people in your life so much more.
That's been my experience anyway, but I'm a ******* optimist
