We often trust our friends and family completely, but even the people we care about the most can betray us. In this collection, we share real stories of betrayal. These strong individuals faced the pain but have now moved on and are sharing their experiences with the world.

The Story:

My kind grandparents suddenly stopped visiting us. When I asked my parents why, they just said, “It’s better this way!” I went to my grandparents’ house, but they wouldn’t open the door. A month later, the police came, and I was terrified when they arrested my mom.

It turned out my mom had opened credit cards in my grandmother’s name and built up a huge debt. My grandparents begged her for months to stop, but she refused to pay it back. They finally had to cut her off and involve the police.

I knew my mom had trouble with spending, but this was too much. What really broke my heart was that my grandmother didn’t want to talk to me anymore.
