No, I don't and will not ever trust those who abused me. Never. Never. Never.

It has taken a lifetime to learn to trust my own self, my own ability to know friend from danger, to know that I am worthy of being truly cared for, not deceived and raped.

Recovery is about me healing and creating loving relationships -- with myself and those who earn my trust.

Those who abused me are not allowed in, ever again. No matter what they do. They did too much harm. No second chances for them. I've paid an unbelievable price for their inhumanity. Never again. Never, ever again. They should be rotting in prison.
