Oh my gosh. I can’t even imagine, Jan. I am so sorry. Hopefully you projected the people who hurt you into your stories and made those characters suffer. Free therapy *stabby-stab*

The classic example is a woman who thinks her man is cheating confides in the woman who he is actually cheating with. This happened to me in real life. 🙂

Agreed! And I agree about being on both sides of the fence. I think there has been times for all of us where we share something forward we shouldn’t, or act on something to benefit ourselves or others. I think this is a gray area sometimes, because everything we learn is information and we do have to decide how to apply it. The question is always motivation, for us and for our characters. What are our reasons for responding or doing something with information shared in confidence? Can we look ourselves in the mirror afterward…or not?

I have no idea why I didn’t already have this on my own personal list of character conflicts. God knows I’ve confided in the wrong person more than once in my life, and even inadvertently been the committer of this crime.
