Family is one of the most important social networks in a person's life. From the moment of your birth, you are surrounded by an abundance of love and support. How would you respond, then, if the ones you trusted the most—your family—betrayed you? Would you stick to your beliefs and exclude them from your life, or could you forgive them under the pretense of family? The story below is an account of a heartbroken girlfriend.
