Learning to Build Trust

As a person who suffered from childhood abuse, I am learning to trust others as an adult now.  What I have learned about trust with others is that trust is a two way street.  We can love others unconditionally, but we cannot trust others unconditionally. It is earned, and we must show our trustworthiness to those we love before we can expect them to trust us.

My childhood was wrought with distrust as I was abused by my parents. My father also had countless affairs, deceived, and betrayed my family. This left a lingering pain of distrust within me about men, and their selfish needs to fulfill their egos. This has caused deep distrust within me in my relationships, resulting in conflicts and failed relationships.   

As I am now trying to learn to trust, I am beginning to give others a chance to build this trust with those who can show me honesty and openness without fear. I am beginning to learn that trust is possible when we give those we love a chance to show me that they are trustworthy.  This is huge progress for my emotional growth, and shows that I have the ability to live beyond my past emotional history. May you learn to trust in your life, Brooke (Copyright 2013 Kundalini Spirit with All Rights Reserved)
