It does sound like old feelings from the past have been stirred up. Were you tricked as a child? I'm guessing that you were not cared for and had your trust betrayed.
From a personal point of view if someone shows me that they care I tend to push them away for fear of getting hurt or being tricked into things as I was before.
It's painful stuff.
Gentle hugs to you. ((((((( mouse )))))))
