Summary
Iyanla believes that a betrayal of trust by a family member can be one of the most difficult relationships to heal from, but also one of the most beneficial. And two callers this week have detailed stories of betrayal to share on their paths toward healing. One caller had the police called on her after she exposed her sister’s cheating husband. And a second caller has always had contention with her three sisters, whom she now hasn’t talked to for years after a very minor disagreement.

| 0:00.0 | I amla and the reason I'm your guide is because I've probably experienced everything you could possibly imagine |
| 0:11.0 | as a result of a relationship, betrayal, abandonment, rejection, sheer |
| 0:16.0 | utter heartbreak, and most of all healing, growth and evolution. |
| 0:22.0 | Welcome to the Our-Spot, a production of Shandaland Audio in partnership with I Heart Radio. Relationships are life's classroom. |
| 0:44.0 | That's where we go to learn, to heal, to stretch, to grow, to work through problems, to work out problems. We go into relationships to learn how to communicate. We go into |
| 0:57.6 | relationships to learn where we're broken and wounded so that we can have an opportunity to heal. |
| 1:05.0 | And no place do I find opportunities for healing more present than in our relationships with our family, family relationships, whether it's mother-child or |
| 1:17.0 | sibling and family relationships are lifetime relationships. |
| 1:22.1 | If you share blood with someone someone that person is going to be in your life forever. |
| 1:26.0 | Now you get to choose how. You get to choose if you see them or communicate with them. |
| 1:32.0 | You get to choose how you interact with them, but you cannot |

| 1:52.0 | And for some reason we think that because they're a mother, our father, a sister, |
| 1:56.7 | or brother, they're not human. And because we're in relationship with someone we're related to by blood, we may think that they should behave |
| 2:05.2 | other than human. Your mother shouldn't make any mistakes, your father |
| 2:11.1 | shouldn't have any deficiencies. |
| 2:13.0 | Your sister should behave like you think she should. |
| 2:16.0 | Your brother shouldn't borrow money. |
| 2:18.0 | They're humans. |
| 2:20.0 | But it's those blood ties and those expectations and that closeness that we have experience that make family betrayals all the more difficult to live through and sometimes to heal. But family relationships, |
| 2:40.0 | they're your foundation. That's where you learned everything about relationship. |
