Wow, Rainagain, I'm impressed at how you took it to such deep places and I'm so moved by what you wrote. I read it over and over.

My guess is being betrayed is the heart of cptsd, and we betray ourselves trying to make it right again, waging war on our emotions. But you have every right to feel your emotions, betrayal included. I think there can sometimes be such gentleness in seeing how vulnerable we really are. Not because we're hurt or weak or mistaken, but just because we're so deeply human.
