BACKSTABBERS AND FAMILY DRAMA: THE TOXIC GRIP OF BETRAYAL

[@Mllascelles1]

Backstabbing or Mackavellianism is probably one of the hardest familial and close friend betrayals to move past. Its always covert, cunning, and passive aggressive.

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

Yes. Agree.

[@thirstonhowellthebird]

The thing is, you don’t even really know it’s happening, even though people are shying away from you and treating you strange you won’t really know the extent of it for decades. My sisters did this to me. From the time I was maybe three years old decades later I’m hearing the truth from people who now are apologizing for their role, which infuriates me because it’s simply too little too late and the things they said about me so that I wouldn’t have a support system or friends and would never rise above them. They didn’t want me to marry first or have children first or have a decent life so they trashed me behind my back. It didn’t work out so well for them, though, because I found and started a business because what else was there to do and that sent me on an incredible life path. Their lives went through the predictable path that usually happens to evil people. The success I found though never helped ease the heartache of that betrayal and it never will. She bragged to me once and told me that she got a girl at her job fired and how easy it was. The girl wanted a promotion that my sister wanted so my sister framed her and got her fired and then bragged about it to me. I remember saying to myself and to her “wow I hope you never turn that on me” having no idea she had been doing that to me my entire life, it’s a special kind of evil that I don’t think a normal person can even wrap their head around.

[@AlliannaFitness]

It's hard to detect from close friends I have a Friend who is successful in most areas of life and has a top job in the Social Work field. Ever since I tried to change my life around for the better, I'm sure she was using manipulative techniques on me wilfully, that made me doubt myself, little strange things I had to keep questioning. I also have also started to get paranoid & question whether my Mother & Sister Tag Team together in a silent way to make me feel less than. I'm a fully grown Adult yet I can't draw a distinction of whether my self worth is actually low , or they are trying to make me feel like I have none because of not achieved a status in life that is not of a standard that most people around me have.

[@Smartbeautifulawesome]

They are so weird and sad little humans

[@MonicaMontgomery_]

Yes.

[@Scene68]

Backstabbing is the type of betrayal that affects your confidence and your fears, especially when you try to make future connections. It's the worst form of PTSD.

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

I wouldn't necessarily say it's the "worst form" but I would say that it depends on what your betrayal is, how long it has happened, and if it has caused long-term psychological or emotional challenges. Every's betrayal reaction is different. I do agree it affects almost every ounce of who a person is.

[@Catalina812]

What about "Dog Piling?" Where the entire family verbally jumps all over only one member, all at the same time?

[@missnyssah8048]

This happened to me the last time I was dumb enough to fly to Tucson...snakes...

[@rubberbiscuit99]

My sister's betrayals and gaslighting led me to cut off contact with her. Not sure what they heard about me, but my other sibling and my father bought into whatever she wanted them to believe about me, and I was abused and then exiled. I realized how easy it was for her to pull off my alienation. I sat back and waited, to see if anyone would ask me about what happened, but they did not. They already believed negative things about me, and/or it was easy for them to go along with her, so they did. Super depressing.

[@thirstonhowellthebird]

I know how badly it hurts, but you are not alone if that helps at all. This is a spiritual world. It’s very hard to understand that evil is real and worse than that it can exist in those we love and Call family. You deserved and deserve better.

The same thing happened to me. I fell out with my Father, and shortly after my Sisters. They pretended to be neutral initially, but then came the condescending comments, sly remarks, energy shift, etc. They couldn't hide it anymore, true colors came out. I went no contact with them as well. When I find myself feeling bad about it, I remind myself that I'm better off without them in my Life. They were never for me to begin with. Best wishes. 🙏🏽❤️

[@Bar_Bar27]

Backstabbing is also ignoring someone. Which causes them to feel invisible and inferior. Especially when it's your own family doing it to you on a constant basis and on purpose. This was my childhood

[@bernicesosa566]

😢

[@KQueenofTheSouth]

@@Bar_Bar27 This dark psychology gets darker when you start studying your family members who have done these things to you from a spiritual perspective. There is actually a demonic chief spirit in the list of unclean spirits with subordinates under it call Machiavellian. It gets interesting when you go into the list of these, and take a hard subconscious and conscious look at yourself and family relationships. You will pull out a lot of things but be strong. Pray for God's help. Study it get your hands on these spiritual things so you would walk circumspectly as wise and not as foolish. As Ephesians 5 says. Study. Study them it takes a while but it pays off.

This is my life! I've just walked away aged 52. Living life with peace❤

[@sassycassie5478]

Backstabbing is one of the lowest forms of emotional abuse. My ex Narc ran to his family and slaundered my name over and over again. He turned his family against me in a deliberate and cruel act. I used to have a good relationship with these people before loose lips destroyed that. It is a horrible act of Betrayal. I felt like i was set upon by not only the Narc, but everyone he involved in the gossip. I am a 48kg 57 year old woman with health concerns. I was hoping to be cherished respected and loved. I was essentially sleeping with the enemy. Never again. Its been 2.5 mnths since i asked him to leave my house. The gaslighting, rage, neglect, emotional and financial abuse was something that was killing me. I had to have the police remove him. He was like a rabid dog. Once his mask slipped and i truly saw him for what he was( Radical Acceptance) I knew there was no going back for the 25th time. What a horrible situation someone can put you in who claims they love you. Essentially he was putting me in harms way instead of having my back.

[@shereerabon8551]

I have a cousin who always came off as loving children. So much that people would trust her to leave their children with her. One day in particular will never leave my mind! A young lady who our family embraced when her mom was killed by her own son when she was only 14. This girl got pregnant at 16. She believed that her new extended family actually loved her and her new baby. She left the baby with my cousin. The moment the mother walked away from her child, the 6 months old baby started to cry. The moment the mother was out of sight, my cousin started shouting at the baby saying, “shut up little black B!” I ran out and chased the baby’s mother down before she could leave and told her! 😊😢

[@MSSHARIII]

What on earth?????!😢😢😢 That is incredibly disturbing! Thank you SO much for sharing and also for telling the baby's mother. What did she do?

[@w8what575]

That’s what I’ve discovered about the types that play off the perfect mom act…my sister thinks she’s the perfect mom because she never says no to her daughters…ever. They’re tyrants! I saw how my sister treated other kids when her daughters came up and took the toys from the other kids and put them in a pile and wouldn’t share any toys with the daycare kids my sister had there…my sons knew better and would just sit in the corner and daydream…so I hung out and just watched..,one kid tried to take the toy back from my niece and my niece smacked this younger kid with the toy! So she started crying from being smacked with this toy! My sister came in and yelled at the kid who got hit for trying to take her daughter’s toys..why have a daycare if ur not gonna let the other kids play with the toys or do anything and ur daughter is a tyrant hoarding the toys in the corner like a greedy little brat!? It’s not teaching that child how to be anything but a narcissistic brat bully…but everyone believes this act my sister puts on! She’s even taken her daughters when they were still very young to the bar with her for a pool tournament and posted pictures on Facebook of her daughter sitting there with open beer around her…if I’d done that, I would have been taken out and lynched by my family and community! I don’t trust anyone anymore! All the good people u would think are in their line of work because they’re good people aren’t there for the right reason.,,they’ll exploit people and stab them in the back for no reason and cause problems they don’t need …makes me sick

[@mercedesharrison5550]

Wow, what happened after you told mom?

[@sixtysense]

My entire family is riddled with this. How does one ever get over it? Besides NC, which I have been for many years.

[@SusanCal]

My mother was the chief backstabber and taught my sisters to do the same! Very sad! What a waste of life!

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

Oh my. I'm sorry. But I do agree it is a waste of life to behave this way.

[@fifilafleur5555]

My backstabbers did much of their backstabbing for their own agendas. Some of it had to do with inheritance and to destroy close family relationships. Also to damage my standing within my family. Also to play the victim & garner attention for themselves at my expense. Sometimes just out of plain old animosity, meanness and because they don’t like me for whatever their reasons. Most of them I have been very kind to.

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

I'm sorry you have experienced this. Backstabbing over inheritance within a family is more common than we think. It's a very ugly reality. I hope you have found some peace.

[@w8what575]

It’s almost like they believe kindness deserves the torment because they think the person is weak …show them ur not weak and show them the assertive side of u…it scares the crap out of them when u do and can articulate why what they’re doing is wrong and uncalled for and u won’t tolerate it any longer

[@OceanLover805]

It’s tiring to have to continue experiencing this from multiple people. Family, friends and coworkers. It seems to be a theme in my life no matter how much I try to get away from toxic people they just keep coming. Sometimes I wonder if I’m cursed. It really feels that way. I know life is hard, but at this point it’s like literally hell. Tired of walking on egg shells and hiding what I do from people because if most find out they get jealous or envious and have been backstabbed so many times it’s a wonder I have a back lol. To do this to people it’s pure evil I don’t care what they went through when they were younger to get them to this. My childhood was severely traumatic and I didn’t become hateful like this 😞

[@nancyP7448]

I felt cursed also. When I was young, I thought I had some sort of marking on my forehead....ugh. I probably still do. But learning....

My twin sister used my autoimmune conditions to craft a narrative of me being an inadequate mother to a 17-year old & 20-year old because I had to take naps. I don’t work. If I worked I’d be away from home. What’s the difference if I’m in my room sleeping because my health requires it? My children could come wake me up, if I was needed. She undermined me by convincing my kids that I exaggerated my health. I never have. The implication is that when we couldn’t afford (because I didn’t work) & we couldn’t go on vacations (because of my limitations), it was a fabrication when it was my/our reality. She also told them I was controlling because I expected chores to be done every Saturday. I was reasonable - 1 or 2 tasks by noon. The irony is that she couldn’t even get her son to go to school; take a shower; do his homework. She knew many of my neighbors and convinced them I was crazy, along with extended family. When I was losing my children’s trust as a result of her manipulation, I had a breakdown. I was hospitalized for a week. Now, she can point to that and say, “see, I told you she was crazy!” This all haunts me to do this day. And, there’s so much more to it.

[@MonicaMontgomery_]

I can tell you are a wonderful Mother, and you're definitely not crazy. ☺️❤️ Your Sister sounds a lot like mine. She's clearly not happy, and she's projecting her feelings onto you. Your Children are older and know if they need you, you're there. If you did Work, she would say you didn't spend enough time with your Kids, these miserable people find a problem with everything. Distance or no contact is always the best solution. Sending love and healing energy your way. God bless. 🙏🏽🌻🙂

Omg! Same thing for me except now it’s my oldest son going around saying I’m exaggerating my illness and that I’m a drug addict etc.,.I had physical trauma to my mouth and head when I was 8 and now in my 40s it’s evident,..but it’s believed it’s all caused by drug use…lol…everyone forgot all about the face plant to a curb that happened when I was 8 and I was left for dead and never taken to the doctor at all…found out when I was 30 and was sick to the point my lungs were filling with fluid that I had broken my nose and crushed my cheekbone which healed and made it impossible to breathe easily..,my blood oxygen levels dropped to dangerous levels every time I even sat back in a chair….the specialist that discovered the issue said I was lucky I lived past 10! That I should have died of SIDS type death from the injuries! The pupils of my eyes will dilate to two different sizes which is indication of severe head trauma…but nope…it’s drugs …and my son and my niece broke in to my apartment and stole a bunch of my jewelry and now are telling people that they saw a big bag of drugs in my purse and that’s what’s being used as their proof….yet they didn’t take a picture both having big fancy phones and they said I was out of town when this happened…,idk anyone who would go out of town without their license and money or purse and every addict I’ve ever known in my past wouldn’t t be able to leave their drugs at home and go out of town…if ur an addict u don’t leave ur drugs at home like that lol….but it doesn’t matter what I say it’s what they need me to be…

[@malabuha]

A backstabber is powerless if the people who receive the diminishing information about their friends or family red flag the information and the person it was coming from. It's an instinctive reaction that protects your ego, because the moment you hear someone talking like that about another you are aware that you could be next. A backstabber can only be successful with another backstabber. Somebody with no integrity

[@fifilafleur5555]

When family members backstab & ostracize one family member is it jealousy???

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

It certainly can be! Sadly, if there is jealousy that would make the backstabbing much easier of an offense to commit. The "bad behavior" is justified when feelings of jealousy arise within them. It's so sad.

[@thirstonhowellthebird]

Always and also as you age, never forget, it’s usually as well about inheritance. The scapegoat of the family usually does well in their life, but the people who behave this way usually do not do so well financially so they count heavily on an inheritance and they will do anything to get it, even if it means destroying you and your reputation in the family and certainly your reputation with the benefactor, it’s what they do.

"Sitting on your ass not doing Anything". Or just sabotage?

You are a fantastic resource and have helped me to understand the psyche of a sick and evil aunt. Any time she believes that someone has gone against her (based on situations she creates in her mind) she sets out to completely destroy that person. From making up false allegations to setting up assults and even murders. She continues to navigate through life fooling many as she can appear to be loving and supportive. The deception is enormous, but we have to realise that evil people can do good things, not because they are good people, but as a tool to harm. We must always understand the intention behind action.

Love your channel, Tamara! You're a blessing to me and to many. Can you do a video on adult parental alienation possibly? My 2 kids from my first marriage to what my long-term psychotherapist calls "a sociopathic patterned person", are being systematically alienated from me as adults (they are 28 & 30). Their toxicity grows continually to the point where I dread having them over. I would pull back from the relationships except that I have two minor children from my second marriage (they are 1/2 siblings with the adult kids )and they love them but I recoil against the behaviours they are modelling to my kids about me. Any advice on how to communicate this to the adult kids would be a God-send.

What are the effects of betrayal on the individual.?

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

That's a good question. I would suggest watching my previous video on post betrayal syndrome: kzbin.infoG9YTJ1NwJ_U. But in short, I would say if the betrayal is frequent or occurs often throughout life, you can develop a form of PTSD known as complex PTSD. You can struggle with a lot of trust issues, fear of abandonment, mental health problems, relationship and attachment issues, etc. My video above may offer more insights.

[@janetromey7522]

@TherapistTamaraHill If they can't get you in debt, enslaved, or obligated then they'll create an event like a trip or a dinner and invite you saying it's all covered, They'll take care of it, then they turn around and say your portion is $700 to keep you trapped. It's another way to punish you. They knew you didn't have the money or needed to plan a different trip for your family. You, and your finances are theirs to manipulate.

[@Erica-cf1xb]

Betrayal is like a puncture to the heart. It hurts so bad that the soul cries out. Nothing anyone say can alleviate the pain. It will cause you to make hard life choices using your brain...but they attack that too. Only the Holy Bible can help you. People are wayyyy too comfortable doing this.

I just came across this I have been going through this for years and o feel stuck I’m having to deal with people I called family who lie to me take from me and backstab me for years now trying to pull away but they literally stop by my house to bring me down more pull me in make me question my reality . Gets me in public and shames me in front of others … I’ feel vulnerable it’s like a constant attack . Always waiting on the next betrayal .

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

I'm so sorry. This is painful t say the least. I see this so much in my work. I hope that some of these conversations had on the channel lately may be helpful to you too.

Perfect example of covert, Machiavellian backstabbing & schadenfreude is the behavior of 'honest' IAGO from Shakespeare's Othello.

[@GeorgeYoung-j2d]

This happened to me with my entire family .I have seven sister. I changed my number two days later.I am done.

[@susanparker767]

Thank you for your work … saving lives ✨🙏🏼✨

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

You're so welcome! And thank you for that humbling comment. I truly hope so!

[@CamGoesCamping]

Sorry I missed the live! I was out living amongst the bears for the weekend. Hehe Plumbing issues are the worst! I hope you got the issue resolved. Thanks for the video! :)

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

Sometimes out with the bears is THE BEST place to be. 😆 And thank you! The matter is finally resolved!

[@wendiosullivan3525]

My stepmother is the most toxic backstabbing woman. I'm 56 she's tortured me since 10 years old.

[@natashajones4298]

Hi Tamara! My name is Tamara! Love your name. I agree with most things you say except this video when you said “.. they’re just born that way..”. I disagree, I don’t believe narcissists / abusers are born, I believe they are made.

[@paulamackay5259]

I call my eldest sister, my mother and my sister in law THE WITCHES COVEN. No contact now. My daughter and i left the entire family.

[@las9582]

My mother and sister are both like this. Its very pathetic behavior. Im still a stronger and healthier person then both of them👍👍

[@jonjohnson445]

42:01 Perception is different in people. Unless someone has experienced exactly what someone else has and perceived it the same, whether accurately or not, "easily provoked" is just how someone perceives someone else.

[@jonjohnson445]

1:01:40 Sounds like her senses and awareness have been heightened due to trauma. Something good and useful from something unpleasant. Be wise as serpents and harmless as doves.

[@loveinchrist6115]

Betraying tribes dont trust ever ever. Betraying tribes. Mothers fathers siblings ect.

[@sofiacornejo1056]

You’ve been super informative and interesting . Thank you darling . Can’t wait to come back and watch another video! 😊

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

Thank you!! And you're welcome 🤗

[@wingsly]

Thanks Tamara, needed this! ❤

[@helenewebster9462]

Thank you.

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

You're welcome!

[@jonjohnson445]

49:35 People that have been in warfare and combat situations or some other trauma, will react to things much differently in most cases. Without knowing what they've experienced, it seems to be an overreaction. Some people have heightened senses and thus less tolerance, or are triggered in ways others aren't. That's how they should be.

[@kenyacrawford4173]

This is so good, so helpful to me

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

I'm so glad! And thank you!

[@melliecrann-gaoth4789]

Tamara. Thank you so much for your clarity.

[@melliecrann-gaoth4789]

Dr Tamara - could you please do an episode on development of one’s intuition and listening to it and integration of it. This is different when you’ve been through loads of stuff etc. and over the years it was pushed to one side etc. or is there anything you would recommend. I really appreciate you, your work and your dedication. Please also take care of you Warmest regards and Blessings. Mellie

[@CherrysJubileeJoyfully]

I had a narcoleptic attack and missed it but I m here now lol

[@lovingsoulsministries3]

My ex called my pastor/boss to ask him to try to convince me to go into family counseling with him, and if my pastor would be willing to counsel us? Ex did so three times until my pastor went to me asking me to give him another chance because he seems genuinely concerned for me and wants his family back. Simultaneously, my abusive ex was sending me text forbidden me to ever allow our children to be baptized.

[@oOIIIMIIIOo]

I hope you showed your pastor that nessage. 😄

[@tinaanderson200]

Yeah ive been accused of this back bitting there was never nothing that was told to me 😮i get blamed for everything when i attend the churches thats why i just left the church i am a survivor of child s.a. so i have discussions with so called friends and my conversations are twisted around by the mammies smh

[@GeorgeYoung-j2d]

It happened to me and I have seven sisters I can't go back for my physical safety I don't trust any of them

[@jonjohnson445]

2:13 Ive been in a place where at least 3k people apparently had no idea.

[@dmvconartists1855]

28:25 the plumbing comment was an analogy for people's bad behavior returning to bite them in the butt Also no theres no cult he just meant ppl with those traits are like a cult

[@mac-ju5ot]

Back stabbing is really the worse. Usually they sit back and smile ....I worked with. A women who scaoegoated ne once after nine years .....she called me a. F tard....my cousin had downs

[@cliffpolley3942]

Thank you for the 💎💎💎

[@eeyoresgirl55]

Is it possible to do a video on how to deal with these people when you can’t get away from their sphere of influence?

[@tinaanderson200]

The person was going behind my back as well I forgive the person then i was accused of what they were doing smh

[@Smartbeautifulawesome]

That’s creepy and weird. Also dumb…

[@las9582]

They are straight up losers.

[@helenewebster9462]

How do we respond to a back stabber?

[@Erica-cf1xb]

The best response to something you KNOW to be true is no response. They were intentional. A true enemy can't backstab you. It's a family member or friend which means they were wearing a mask thee entire time.

[@TheGlobalFederalQueen]

It’s like you can hear me

[@ondreagreen5797]

My sister slept with my husband and boyfriends

[@TherapistTamaraHill]

The worst betrayal. I'm sorry.

[@mahoganyshanae6116]

WOW! How sick is that..

[@las9582]

My sister slept with guys that showed me interest, even though I'm a whole entire lesbian.

[@KhemTrailz]

Does everyone not have mild symptoms of these traits tho or just me. I don’t want it completely but will go to the Movies and pay money to see drama. It is the spice of life and while it sucks to go through I ultimately still love people and want to see people succeed in the end… or at least i believe I do publicly but I might really hate myself for being such a bad person. I definitely have bpd and narcissist tendencies but want to believe I care but maybe not then. Am I being manipulated right now? Is there hope for me or am I doomed to use all knowledge as a dark empath to continue destroying the lives of others.

[@oOIIIMIIIOo]

No

Thank you for bringing this topic to light! It’s been tough to deal with lately. Your videos help and make me feel less alone. 🫶🏽
