Like the song says, "you don't know what you got till it's gone" this poem says a lot

Betrayals come in many forms and from people you would never expect. Life throws hard curve balls.

Yes absolutely, Kim. They certainly are related. Here's how I see the difference, in this case anyway, betrayal is the 1-on-1 feeling and humiliation includes the impact with respect to everyone in one's environment.
