I couldn't trust her because she was still friends with my ex-husband and she, you know, did the whole thing well. So I guess you now, after your breakup, had some trust issues with friends, girlfriends, because of the betrayal that you endured with your friend, then living with your ex-husband.
Imagine finding out that your husband and close friend have betrayed you, not through a heartfelt conversation, but via a Facebook message. That’s exactly what happened to Kim, and in this episode of the 'Breakup Recovery Podcast', she bravely shares her story. Hosted by Barbara Stevens, this episode dives deep into Kim’s emotional journey of betrayal, shock, and eventual healing.

However, the real gut punch came when Kim discovered her close friend was now living with her ex-husband. The betrayal hit harder than the breakup itself, leaving Kim questioning her judgment and struggling to trust again. But rather than letting this double betrayal define her, Kim chose to focus on her own well-being.
She talks candidly about prioritizing self-care, maintaining her health, and being there for her son. Exercise and surrounding herself with supportive loved ones became her lifeline. Kim’s story is a testament to resilience and the power of focusing on oneself during tough times. She offers practical advice on how to rebuild trust, the importance of self-care, and why leaning on a support system is crucial.
