Nothing in this world will ever betray you, apart from your expectations.

1. The definition of "betrayal" still fits even if said betrayal is expected. 2. If the son doesn't know, then it's still absolutely true that the mother betrayed him, even if you can also say that he was "betrayed by his expectations." Both are clearly true statements.

No Kevin, betrayal is an act of treachery. Someone cannot betray you if you have no trust in them in the first place.

Because I am into astrology, I would actually agree with you on this point. But we are talking about a level of self- and other awareness that very few can attain. I didn't. Not in time, that is. And, even with that awareness, one's loyalty to one's mother is somatic.

I.e. loyalty to the mother, upon we depended for everything early on, is infused somatically in the body and all the awareness in the world is, in most cases, is insufficient in the face of it IMO.

You're (incorrectly) defining betrayal as something you don't expect ("he couldn't be betrayed—he would expect it”) And even if that were the definition, what’s the point of basically saying “Nothing in this world will ever happen unexpectedly if you don’t have expectations”?

The definition is not incorrect; betrayal is an act of treachery. Treachery is a breach of trust. And I think there's value in emphasising that shocks are ultimately a result of expectations.
