What do you do when one of your best friends here tells you something really scary and painful?
How are you supposed to deal with that?
How are you not supposed to be terrified of them?
Especially when they told you they'd protect you from any danger. When they've been nothing but nice to you, but what they did makes them a really bad person. When they still might be a bad person, but they're trying not to be.
I told them I can't talk to them until I figure things out. This feels worse than a breakup. Anyone have any advice?

I won't say that you shouldn't be afraid of them, if you believe that you have good reason to be. Just the same, there's something to be said for the fact that they told you at all, isn't there?
It's possible that whomever this is has done terrible things, but in that case it would be to their benefit to keep quiet about it. Isn't it likewise possible that they told you because they didn't want to deceive you or lie by omission anymore?

Hearing those things from them just brings all that back again.
I'm not doing this to out them. I'm doing this because I need advice on what to do. I don't want to be a bad person by not giving them a chance, but I don't know if I can ever give them that chance again, no matter how sorry they are.

There's a difference, though, between liking someone and trusting them. It's entirely possible to care about someone and not trust them at all, and that doesn't make you a bad person.

You can't give all of yourself to everyone. That's just the way life is, unfortunately.

Thank you.
