Betrayal comes in many forms, and in all shapes and sizes. Here are some examples of treachery and disloyalty that we ourselves have experienced, or heard about from our sisters: BADMOUTHING YOU OR GOSSIPING ABOUT YOU TO OTHERS LYING ABOUT YOU LYING TO YOU, DECEIVING YOU, MISLEADING YOU. REVEALING A SECRET ONE PARENT NOT PROTECTING YOU FROM THE ABUSE OF THE OTHER PARENT ONE SIBLING HAVING AN AFFAIR WITH THE OTHER SIBLING’S SPOUSE TURNING SOMEONE AGAINST YOU, OR TRYING TO TURN SOMEONE AGAINST YOU SABOTAGING A JOB OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU SABOTAGING ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP FOR YOU TAKING AN ENEMY’S SIDE AGAINST YOU USING SOMETHING SHE KNOWS ABOUT YOU, OR A PAST HURT YOU HAVE TOLD HER ABOUT, AGAINST YOU. REVEALING PERSONAL INFORMATION STEALING FROM YOU (MONEY OR MATERIAL POSSESSIONS, BUT ALSO FRIENDS, HUSBANDS, BOYFRIENDS, ETC.) DELIBERATELY HURTING YOU COMPLAINING ABOUT YOU TO OTHERS GIVING INFORMATION ABOUT YOU TO A RIVAL OR AN ENEMY, PASSING ON ANY INFORMATION TO ANYONE THAT SHE KNOWS DOES NOT GET ALONG WITH YOU. SNEAKING BEHIND YOUR BACK TO DO ANYTHING EXCEPT THROW YOU A SURPRISE PARTY ANY KIND OF EMOTIONAL BLACKMAIL, SUCH AS SHUNNING OR DISOWNING YOU, OR THREATENING TO, BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT DOING WHAT SHE WANTS YOU TO DO. MEDDLING IN ANY SITUATION IN YOUR LIFE WITHOUT YOUR PERMISSION- OR WORSE, WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE. TRYING TO INFLUENCE YOU TO DO ANYTHING THAT WOULD BE TO YOUR DETRIMENT. TRYING TO FORCE, PRESSURE, OR MANIPULATE YOU TO DO ANYTHING YOU DON’T WANT TO DO, OR ARE UNCOMFORTABLE ABOUT. INSTIGATING YOU TO FIGHT WITH OR LEAVE SOMEONE YOU LOVE, OR TO LEAVE A JOB YOU LOVE, A CAREER YOU LOVE, A HOME YOU LOVE, ETC. EXPECTING YOU TO LIE, COVER-UP, OR GO AGAINST YOUR CONSCIENCE DISCREDITING YOU WHEN YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT ANYTHING, INCLUDING SOMEONE ELSE’S EVIL OR ABUSIVE BEHAVIOR DISRESPECTING YOUR PRIVACY, SNOOPING, ETC. SPYING ON YOU FOR SOMEONE ELSE, PROBING FOR INFORMATION WHICH SHE WILL THEN PASS ALONG. PRESSURING YOU OR EXPECTING YOU TO TOLERATE ABUSE BEHAVING IN ANY WAY THAT IS AGAINST YOUR BEST INTERESTS ENDANGERING YOU, YOUR CHILDREN, OR YOUR LOVED ONES, OR EXPOSING ANY OF YOU TO AN EVIL PERSON. BEING DISHONEST WITH YOU HIDING SOMETHING FROM YOU. FALSELY ACCUSING YOU EXPLOITING OR USING YOU BEFRIENDING YOUR ENEMIES, OR MAKING A POINT OF BEFRIENDING YOUR EX-FRIENDS OR EX-LOVERS. INSISTING ON KEEPING IN TOUCH WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE NO LONGER SPEAKING TO YOU, AND WITH WHOM SHE HAS NO CONNECTION OTHER THAN KNOWING THEM THROUGH YOU. SACRIFICING YOU FOR HER OWN SELFISH PURPOSES, SUCH AS EXPOSING YOU TO AN ABUSIVE PERSON SHE CHOOSES TO STAY WITH. WE KNOW SEVERAL CASES OF MOTHERS WHO ARE STILL MARRIED, DECADES LATER, TO HUSBANDS WHO RAPED THEIR CHILDREN. DEFENDING ONE WHO HAS DONE HARM TO YOU. MINIMIZING YOUR FEELINGS OR CRITICIZING YOU FOR NOT “GETTING OVER IT” IMMEDIATELY WHEN SHE OR SOMEONE ELSE HAS HURT YOU. NOT SUPPORTING YOU WHEN A WRONG HAS BEEN DONE TO YOU. Here’s an interesting one- COPYING EVERYTHING YOU DO, INCLUDING FLIRTING WITH YOUR BOYFRIEND, OR TRYING TO MAKE YOUR FRIENDS HER FRIENDS BY CALLING THEM WITHOUT INCLUDING YOU.
