For example, you discover your beloved brother who you have a really great relationship to and look up to him is a serial cheater, or a man you’re seeing and regard as a sweet and mature person with a good heart forcing it in while you’re half asleep and it hurts?

How do you move past that terrible feeling in your heart, the pain and confusion, the feeling that your world is shattered?

I feel like if real good people can do these acts than there is no hope of ever being safe and secure. And I know them to be good, so how can this happen?

I am sorry if I bring back bad memories for anyone, I felt like I have to discuss this with other women beside my mom.
