Silenthill... When I read your posts, I think about my own trust issues with people. And I think about how unfair it was that abusers took things from me that I can never replace like my childhood and my innocence... and even trust.

But you know what, Echoes is right. She does not reflect all Ts in the world. I have had my own battle of inner trust over my T - and he did nothing wrong at all!! But other abusers had stolen from me my ability to trust any other human in the universe.

You know what... trust is a precious thing... it is sacred and wonderful when it is there. And it is a RIGHT that each person has.

That T stole a whole lot from you... but you do have a choice to not allow her to continue to walk away with one of the rarest and most wonderful things your soul has the right to have... trust.

Don't allow her to take that. You will have to fight tooth and toenail to take it back! And you will run into issues that will make you question yourself all over again for trusting in the future. But don't let her steal that away forever. Find a way to have trust but guard it with all of who you are. The next time, give out just a small amount of it and allow that to grow on its own. Remember that trust does not have to be all or nothing. Knowing that I can give small bits of trust out here and there has saved me from great agony and pain that happens when the soul has lost the ability to trust.

I am not sure if what I said will make any sense to you at all. But I had to say it.
