Sometimes pain lives in the body without words. Sometimes it shows up as fatigue, silence, anger, numbness, or fear. Sometimes it resists explanation entirely.

Belief, in this framework, is conditional. It must be earned through detail. Through exposure. Through a willingness to reopen wounds so that others can inspect them and decide whether they qualify as real.

Trust is the foundation of every meaningful relationship. When that trust breaks, especially at the hands of those closest to us, the pain runs deep. For many, betrayal by men in their lives—whether family members or partners—can leave lasting scars. When those who should protect and support us fail, it can feel like the world has turned its back.
