Yes
this is where I'm at, thank you for articulating it so well! It helps me to elaborate what I couldn't before...
I have different levels of trust with different people. Eg. I can trust my mom with taking care of my daughter during bad episodes, but I can't trust her to take care of me (emotionally) I trust certain people with certain information about myself, other people I trust with different info. And this has nothing to do with their level of trustworthiness, as that has bee established already, but its dependent on the boundaries surrounding a particular relationship dynamic.
Thanks SD
