My friend said he didn't ask for my "trauma dumping" when I became honest about my abuse to him? I want to cut him off but he already has. I'm just angry he would dismiss me like that and want revenge.
A few months ago, I finally opened up to one of my male best friends about some abuse I went through growing up from men. This isn't something I tell people. I've spent years keeping it bottled up because I was embarrassed, ashamed, and honestly scared of being judged. At first he seemed willing to listen, but after I got emotional and shared more details, he got annoyed and told me he "didn't ask for my trauma dumping." Those were his exact words.
After that conversation he gradually stopped talking to me and eventually cut me off completely. Now I'm left feeling hurt, angry, and honestly humiliated. I want revenge. Nothing illegal or crazy, but I want him to feel the same hurt and rejection he made me feel. What do I do?
