Trust is hard for me as well. But trust is earned as well even with "normal ppl" thou the examining of things probably not so not sure with "normal ppl"- cuz i examine ppl too with what they are doing saying what's happening etc. There are times i don't trust my boyfriend which is like the only person i have these days- those days are lonely and madding. Idk how to break this habit. With me new ppl at work esp. I don't trust. My first thoughts are what's their game? What's their plan? They're going to get me fired even thou i'm an awesome worker lol. Sigh. But trust, sigh. It's needed sadly but it's a difficult thing.
You have your kids

That's a start!
"i'm sorry this wasn't much help but just wanted to say i can relate
Take care!
