Wow!. That must have hurt so much. I totally understand you and you are so right. I love hearing personal experiences, it makes it real and easy to relate to.
It is actually hard to find who to share your burdens with, as you can never be sure about what they would do, or who they would divulge it all to. The thing is, we need to study people's content before feeding them to our soul. I know you told your brother all that, because you felt he wouldn't hurt you, a mistake i know you will consider very well, if you were dealing with a friend, right?
When it comes to issues that are very delicate, test that person with a little information first and see how they react, but then, don't forget that you build friendship everyday you relate with someone. Studying people helps. Friendship and sharing secrets takes caution, that's why people sometimes go to a therapist.
The level of maturity of the person you are dealing with matters. These tiny details should be checked and looked into before ascertaining who to open up to. The truth is, people will hurt and betray you sometimes, we live and learn in life.
Thank you so much brother, I'm very happy you see it the same way as mine
Definitely. You made so much sense. Thanks brother.
