I find found the sentence below that in a basic American dictionary: and the below sentence:

"When parents get divorced, chicldren children often feel betrayed."

What does "feel betrayed" mean?
Thanks.
Note my corrections above. Do you understand what "betrayed" means?
 
Come on, @alice-5. You've been here long enough to know that even a one-word sentence must start with a capital letter and end with a closing punctuation mark. If you know what that word means, why can't you work out how someone could "feel betrayed"?
 
I don't understand the meaning.
 
Do you understand what it means when we say someone "feels + adjective"?
 
I know betray meaning but i don't understand the meaning of betrayed.

If I betray you, then you have been betrayed.
 
I know betray the meaning of "betray" but I don't understand the meaning of "feel betrayed".
See above. Remember to capitalise the first person singular pronoun "I" every time you write it.
 
Isn't sentence above mentioned a bit absurd?
 
"when parents get divorced chicldren often feel betrayed"
 
No, it's not absurd.
 
Is this sentence in fluent English?
 
Yes. When "children" is spelled correctly. I'd add a comma after "divorced."
 
"When parents get divorced, chicldren children often feel betrayed."
In post #2, I made corrections to the original. Why are you still typing the version full of errors?
Is this sentence in fluent grammatically correct in English?
See above.
 
The idea is that a child believes there is an unspoken promise or expectation that the parents will stay together forever. When that doesn't happen, the child feels that the promise has been broken.
