We explore what intimate partner betrayal truly means, its devastating emotional and physical impacts—including PTSD-like symptoms—and why it's so isolating. Andrea also shares about the Intimate Partner Betrayal Awareness Day, observed annually on August 4th. This is a growing movement to bring visibility and community to those affected.
