We all carry old memories - ghosts that still haunt us. One of my personal ghosts popped back up in my professional life. It's one that deals with trust and respect for one another.
My ex betrayed my confidence, disappointed and belittled me so many times that I'm hypersensitive whenever trust or respect are at stake.
Just before Christmas, a professional friend broke my confidence and then discounted my reaction. He said I was being dramatic. I asked him which particular part of "do not share this conversation" did he not understand. By repeating what I had told him, he stirred up a bunch of people unnecessarily and then told me I didn't handle it right.
I haven't spoken to him since.
He's tried calling and emailing but I can't even bring myself to listen to the voice mail. This isn't the first time he's been this way, but it's definitely the worst. He thinks he's a narcissist. I think he's right.
Rebuilding my ability to trust is hard. It's part of my healing process and something I need to tackle before I consider another relationship.
The most difficult part is knowing when to forgive and move forward and when it's better to cut people out of your life. Its most important to stay true to yourself.
Love to the single girls,
Addison
