Hi...I don't know if anyone will see this but I'm hoping someone will at least extend some understanding because I am really hurt. trigger warnings.... I'll try to keep this short... I have a history of sexual, emotional, mental, and physical abuse for 9 years by my ex husband. Recently, my current husband has been tied into that trauma through some of his actions....including not being there for me when I had to have an abortion, and sexually assaulting me two weeks before I had to have a tubal ligation so that situation never occurred again. Add in blocking me in rooms to keep me from leaving and throwing things when he is upset and yeah....triggered. I confided in a friend- a best friend- as these things unfolded. About three weeks ago he stayed in my home and while I was at work, my husband spent two hours lamenting his case to my friend....now all of a sudden, my wants and needs and need to be seen and validated are "toxic" according to my friend, and my husband is "equally a victim"... I'm hurt and devastated. my friend keeps insisting that I needed this "intervention" for my own good. I feel gaslit and betrayed. Thanks for reading and commenting if you do.

I am so sorry that you’re friend did that to you. It’s beyond wrong. If he was your true friend he wouldn’t have done that. Just know that you have support and we all believe you and are here for you
Thank you. I hate that yet again I'm dealing with not knowing who I can trust because I have a spouse that exploits my friendships to his advantage.

I do have a therapist that I work with every week....I'm just struggling right now with how to process my friend's betrayal. Doing the best I can with working on everything else, too.
I highly recommend finding a therapist and or psychiatrist/psychologist to help deal with this and to leave the situation as fast as possible. If you need resources please message me and I will help in anyway
