We're back! Back to the familiar format of a letter from a listener - and this one is such a common theme: why do we give sympathy and care to those who hurt us the most!
Anisha wrote in with details of a break up we all can understand: her husband left her for a woman he met at work. She dealt with the fallout from this and helped her three children come to terms with their new life, steering them through the upset and hurt. She watched as he created a new family with his new partner. Then when it fell apart, he reached to her for support and.......well, listen to find out! It's fascinating to explore why we feel able to feel compassion for those who have hurt us the most, to try to understand behaviour that leads to betrayal and ultimately, the consequences of not being emotionally strong when life calls for it.
As we always say, if you're having relationship problems, going through a relationship breakup or experiencing heartbreak, then know this: we are with you. Because you can and will survive, heal and thrive.
