I had this happen and the grief of betrayal was unbearable. And it wasn't just the loss of the friendship, but the loss of trust in myself.

For two years after the revelations I found myself saying, "How could I not have known? I must have known. Am I sure I didn't know? Was I willfully blind? I vouched for him. What's my complicity here?"

I withdrew from most of my friends because I carried so much unearned guilt and felt infected by my ex-friend's toxicity.

It's awful.
