Would you feel betrayed by this?

Your ex husband posts a photo of a visit he has made with his new girlfriend. He has taken our son with him. The photo is of him and our son looking happy and laughing.
The relationship ended 6 months ago.
Most of our mutual friends have liked or hearted the photo. How would you feel?

I might feel betrayed but that doesn’t make it real betrayal.

Are people supposed to stop caring about other people because they break up with someone?

I know it’s painful, but reminiscing about what you had will get you no where with him or your son or yourself. Stop remembering what you once had.

You don’t know if this new relationship will last or not, but it is over. Do not believe in it out of a sense of loyalty. Find someone with whom you can be loved and whom you can also love. Or find something to do that you are passionate about. Do not let your passion have anything to do with your past with him.

It’s a momentary joy-to remember the past —be carful not to be addicted to the emotional past memories by replaying them. It will keep you trapped in the past.—
