This happened about 7 years ago. I confided to a family member that I was feeling suicidal and actually felt a tiny bit better. In two days she showed up where I was living and dragged me to spend an hour on a treadmill everyday for a week. Yep cos mild exercise solves over a decade of deep seated trauma. Somehow this wasn't insulting enough and she consulted an astrologer - of all people - about my feelings IN FRONT OF THE RELATIVES I WAS STAYING WITH AT THAT TIME and blurted out that I was feeling suicidal. I wasn't there for this particular pow-wow.
How did I find out? She recorded the whole thing to play back to me IN FRONT OF THOSE SAME RELATIVES. To say I was mortified beyond imagining would be the understatement of the century. I couldn't even move out since my salary wasn't enough to pay the rent. I had to stay with them for an entire year until I got a pay hike large enough to find a place of my own.
That was it.
That was the moment that every vestige of trust I had placed in her and my faith in the human race shattered into atoms. I didn't bother confronting her. The damage is permanent and I will never consider her or anyone else to be a confidant ever again.
This combined with other reasons is why I will be ctbing by SN next year. I'm so fucking done.
