It is a very sad place to be when someone breaks your trust.
Broken trust is not just for those of us that are damaged.

As long as you know you need to build trust little by little, you can control some of what happens around you. We never can control other people.

With the diagnosis of depression, I had to eliminate or reduce contact with some dear people in my life as I can only trust them to say 'get over it'.
I did say to my Dad, "get over your cancer". He did get the message.
So I when I am ready to work on relationships I hope to invite him and others back into my life.

boundaries- are you seeing a Therapist? Even though my foster feral cat's each teach me something new about myself and trust, it was commiting to a therapeutic process ( group therapy) that made trust something that included people.

One thing to consider that I just found out was as much as it feels safe for me to shut out the world, we are wired to be social animals, to be human to have the ablity to feel connected. From link below.
