happy but reserved also

i looked after a child in their home for almost 15 years as my job, a couple of years after my support was no longer needed i became very ill...well i had been ill for a number of years but tried to hold it together with gradually decreasing success for the sake of my job and this child. i began to become needy and the whole of this childs family including the child cut contact with me, now after a few years the child has tried to contact me via facebook. she tried once before by phoning me telling me she was going to try harder to be a good friend, only i never heard again from her till now. so although i am over the moon that she contacted me again i still have reservations over her not letting me down again.
i have messaged them back, just hope i am not let down again.

Good luck, yellowted. Hope it all works out for you.
