We all trust the wrong people at times. Some of us more than others precisely because of certain kinds of traumas in the past, especially in our childhood. Childhood trauma and abuse can really screw up a person's "trust compass." I know that from personal experience and a loooooooong time in my adult years of trusting the wrong people.

But don't beat yourself up about it. Learn from it, continue to work on healing and you will get better at knowing who to trust and who not to. Although some of the people that one would think should be the easiest to spot for "not trusting" are very skillful at gaining other's trust. Trust, but verify. Trust your gut instincts. And use common sense.

Can't stop you from praying and blessing me,

But keep it to yourself please, don't tell me.
And let's all respect each other's feelings.
With kindness, support and "sweet dreamings."
