I do not want to tell you in any way that your experience isn't your experience. I do want to write that your story isn't by any means over yet, and you don't know what the future - even the rest of today - will bring.
Being betrayed is traumatic. It takes time to recover, and some traumas are so horrible that recovery is hard to come by in any case.
But you can control yourself. Your sparkle may need action by you to come back. Time alone hasn't been enough up to now. If you're stuck, I urge you to find help - you may be able to bring it back.

You don't have to like your boundaries. You just have to set and enforce them.
