SolG Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I don't think empathy and betrayal--or indeed any other negative emotion or action--are necessarily mutually exclusive. I cannot see that anyone would not feel for another person going through the impact of the suicide of a loved one, regardless of their context. I do however understand that that empathy could be seen as incongruent with betrayal and therefore unwelcome. I think you are doing the right thing in maintaining distance. They will need a lot of time to support one another and grieve together. I hope you manage to salvage some joy for yourself from the season.
