Alabama Barker Calls Out Friends She 'Considered Family' for 'Hurting' Her in Ways She 'Never Expected': 'I've Tried to Move With Kindness'

Alabama Barker is opening up about feeling betrayed by people she once considered close friends and family.

The 20-year-old daughter of Travis Barker and Shanna Moakler shared a lengthy message on her Instagram Story, reflecting on the difficult lessons she's learned about the people in her life over the past few years.

"Throughout all, I've tried to move with kindness and never let the way people treated me change my heart or my intentions," Alabama began. "I've made mistakes, of course, but I can genuinely say I've never treated people I loved the way I was treated this year."

Alabama admitted it has been painful to realize that some of the relationships she valued may not have been as genuine as she believed.

"It's a different kind of hurt when you start realizing that some of the people you loved deeply may have never loved you the same, and some of the friends you considered family were capable of hurting you in ways you never expected," she wrote.

The social media personality said the experiences left her feeling "confused, drained and questioning so much."

Rather than naming the people she was referring to, Alabama used her experience to share a warning with her followers.

"I guess my point is, pay attention to what people show you," she continued. "If someone gives you a reason to question their loyalty, intentions or the way they care for you, don't ignore it."

Alabama encouraged her followers to "protect your peace and trust your instincts" when someone's behavior gives them reason to question a relationship.

Despite her apparent frustration, Alabama suggested there is much more to the story that she isn't ready to publicly reveal.

"Part of me wants to go on Kick one day and say everything, but I know that could easily turn into something messy, and I'm trying to move differently," she admitted.

Rather than airing out the situation, Alabama said she's focusing on finding "genuine souls" who give her the same "kindness, loyalty and love" she gives them.

Alabama ended her emotional message by expressing gratitude for the people who have remained loyal to her.

"And I'll always love and appreciate the people who have never turned their backs on me," she wrote.

Despite feeling hurt by some of the relationships in her life, Alabama appears ready to move forward with a different outlook.

"I hope my next chapter treats me with kindness and gentleness," she concluded.

Alabama didn't identify any of the friends or loved ones she was referring to or reveal the specific incidents that prompted her message.
