The best advice I can give, does not come from personal experience, but from looking at your situation practically. I understand completely why you’ve gotten to the place you’ve arrived at—(given what’s been stated), but if you are able to understand that that was a sample size of one. In a very unique and extraordinary situation (group support). Those are inherently built in with more trust than should be perhaps given at times, because of the collective harmony that is shared by some complication or another. Therefore, relationships can develop on a much faster track than most (other settings...). I think that, you’ve just got to look at and take it for what it was. This person violated your trust. But that can happen to anyone. Even the most intelligent and savvy people have been fooled! My parents - both with PhD’s & about as highly successful a s you’re gong to get in their chosen & respective fields, were once taken advantage of by their financial advisor, or i forget his exact title - he may have been technically an accountant, but the point is that their read was that after getting to know him, his brother & extended family, as well as their interactions over the years, their kids and whatnot (he held a position for being in charge with the city’s Financial s in some for m or another - which he also got in trouble for...); but the point is that you can still get deceived, if the other party is willing to go to those lengths to do so - for whatever reason. But to throw away all future opportunity is to oppress yourself. Not only do you lose out: but so to do all those who might be welcomed into your life, and one day further meaningful relationships with. It’d be like if I somehow got a girlfriends out the blue (& that would be a miracle the likes of which this world has never, and will never see)— hut lets just say for the sake of, that I did! And the. N they went and did an analogous thing to me, as was just was done onto you. And let’s stretch this truth further and say that it had happened to me before, once or twice, and with profound and everlasting consequences, ramifications, & implications... & I were to come to you and say, “hey! I’ve give n up on the girls 👧!!)” they’re all the same and not to be Trusted and based on my own personal experience, will only look to continued the stretch no matter what I try and do (or change, in the future). Now, what might you tell me? : )
