The High School Files, Ep. 3: Dear Twin Brother: The Betrayal That Shattered Us
Episode 3
Saturday, 19 July, 2025
In this deeply personal episode, I open up about the betrayal that cut the deepest — the one that came from the person I once called my twin. Raised just 11 months apart, my brother and I were seen as inseparable. We wore matching outfits, shared birthday cakes, and lived like we were twins. But everything changed when a family secret came to light — one that shattered our bond and exposed cracks I never saw coming.This episode explores how jealousy, unresolved pain, and betrayal turned my biggest childhood ally into one of my loudest high school bullies. I share how his actions not only broke my heart but played a role in the outcome of a life-altering court case after I was sexually assaulted. And years later, when I learned the full truth about our past, it led to a final, painful separation.This is a story about family, silence, survival — and what it means to grieve someone who’s still alive.If you’ve ever felt alone in your pain, this episode is for you.
