Long story short someone who I considered a friend and who I'm in a club with in college was recently arrested and it came out that 13 years ago he faked his death to escape CP charges and has been on the run using fake identities ever sense. I've known him now for awhile and I never would have expected something like that to have been in his past and it's honestly really messed me up.
It feels a little dramatic to say it was traumatizing but I can't think of any other word that properly describes all the emotions and thoughts that are haunting me constantly now after this. Books have always been my way of coping since they help me organize my thoughts in a much better and healthier way rather than just avoiding them so I'm looking for books that may help me think through and process all of this.
Books about psychology, dealing with betrayal, etc are welcome and also any books that may give info on how people like him think and work because I still can't even process how it happened. I just need words that'll connect with me so I feel less alone and that'll help me make sense of the absolute mess that's in my brain constantly now.
