Some families wear a mask of love and unity… but behind closed doors, cruelty thrives. Some laugh while you struggle. Some smile while they hoard what could have been shared. Some thrive on secrecy, deception, and betrayal, while you’re left wondering if love was ever real.
Being hurt by family leaves a wound unlike any other. The betrayal cuts deeper because it comes from the people who should protect you, nurture you, and see your worth. And yet… some families choose to collude in deceit, to laugh behind your back, to prioritize money, status, or appearances over the life of their fathers/brothers wife.
Know this: you are not the problem. Their laughter, their lies, their denial — that is the sickness, not your worth. You are allowed to see it. You are allowed to name it. You are allowed to step away from it and protect yourself.
đź’ˇ Truth is freedom. Exposure is courage. Boundaries are survival.
You don’t have to forgive them for your peace — you have to honor yourself. Some families are not safe. And acknowledging that is not betrayal. It’s survival.
