From personal experience, keeping a wise distance is usually the best thing after something like that. Just remember "forgiveness" does not = going back to the way things were, it just means that you are not holding the anger for what happened inside yourself but letting that go for you. No where does "forgivness" mean that you don't be cautious around them in the future.
I have about 4/5 different groups of friends I do things with which means that none of the groups I am extremely close with but I totally do enjoy the activities we do together. Can be friends but independent at the same time & yes, at the fringe in all the groups because I as one person cannot & really don't want the demands that close group friendships require. I have my own farm responsibilities & those are my priorities.....but I do enjoy going & doing things with others when it fits into MY LIFE which is my priority.
Trust is built with time being around people. I usually give people initially a "benefit of the doubt", but never truly have trust until time passes & I get to know them. Once trust is broken it is never fully repaired. I have actually gotten tired of the work that some friendships require & I have just let them fade away. This is just life & there is reallt nothing wrong with that.
I look at life as seasons & some people are only in our life for a season. Seasons change & so do we.....let it happen cause you can't hold onto them & make them stay like they were
