Betrayal shares one family’s story of broken trust, shocking deception, and healing in the aftermath of destruction. Each season focuses on a single story, with the goal of sparking a broader conversation about a pervasive societal issue. We feature individuals who feel like our neighbors or friends, allowing listeners to empathize with those in these difficult situations. Stacey, a single mother of two, meets Justin, a promising young medical student. They quickly fall in love, bonding over a shared sense of humor and commitment to family. However, after they marry Stacey discovers that Justin is sexually abusing her eldest son, Tyler. In Season 3, we document Tyler and Stacey’s journey towards justice and healing, all while shining a light on the broader issue of male sexual abuse. Our show has been downloaded 42+ million times, and we’ve received hundreds of emails about the positive impact our show has had on listeners’ own traumatic processing and understanding.
