Betrayal 3
My father.
I've always had a difficult relationship with him. He never really cared for me. My elder brother was his very clear favourite.
I decided to go visit him to have some time away. I was signed off work and on antidepressants. Dad immediately took exception to me taking them.
The week I was there was just constant from dad that I should get back with my husband. Forgive him etc etc
I even thought that was what I ought to do but as soon as I was back I knew I couldn't. Dad still won't accept it and me divorcing him is apparently my failure. I accept any relationship has two sides and each have to compromise etc but on this I couldn't. So in dad's eyes I'm a crushing failure and I feel another sense of betrayal by someone I believe would support me.
I'm so sad and happy at the same time that mum had passed away before all this. It would have torn her in two between us possibly.
