Episode 2: The Betrayal You Didn’t See Coming
Some betrayals don't happen with screaming matches or obvious deceit. Some come in silence—wrapped in trust, camouflaged in closeness, and delivered by the ones you never imagined could hurt you. In this episode of The Quiet Exit™, we explore the pain of being blindsided by betrayal, especially by those you confided in and stood by.
We'll unpack:
Why narcissistic and manipulative people betray you at your most vulnerable moments
How betrayal often reveals more about them than about you
The emotional and psychological aftermath of silent sabotage
What healing looks like when you're left holding the weight of what someone else broke
If you've ever asked, “How could they?”, this episode is for you.
