If by like them you mean betraying your value system then yea I think its normal to not want to do that but you also have to remember everyone lives there own life and sees things in the way they see them. I was raised with a certain moral code but I could always see my parents were pretty much hypocrites about it so eventhough I embraced those values for a time I eventually had to come to my own peace with how I would navigate through the world. You can find yourself in really bad places and end up doing things you never thought you would do.
I don't know if this will help you but I think you could forgive them for there human frailty and begin to form your own ideas of how you should live you may find you have to be flexible at some time in the future but I think you will understand better if you try to understand what they did.
Good luck I know how hard disillusionment can be to take.

Perhaps the hardest thing i have to do now is to forgive them hoping i'll understand why they did what they did ...
