I recently discovered I have been lied to by members of my faith community. I know I have been lied to a lot in this life and I will be lied to many more times before I die, but what shocks me most this time is the source of where the lies came from.

I do not think they realize just how much this has hurt me. I am now reconsidering a lot of my roles and planning on cutting back my volunteering in order to not be around these individuals. But at the same time, I do not want to let down those who count on me.

I know I should turn the other cheek and all that jazz, but I am still conflicted. Advice would be appreciated.
