text: how do i re-teach my self to trust? i grew up being sexual abused, raped and cheated on by men..learning not to trust anyone. i have now found my soul mate and i cant trust him although i know i should/can, is there some way to re-teach myself to trust again? sometimes we don't trust because others have abused that gift we have given them...and the very saddest part is once that innocence of trust has been taken it isn't so easy to get back.  but i will tell you this...the only way to move forward and begin to trust again...is to truly let the past go... honestly move on....remember this... you only need luggage when you go on vacation....so the best advice is to leave the past behind you sweetie and count on this the bad people of the world will get theres...for reals...  be strong, youv'e already suffered enough for someone elses issues, don't allow them to continue to affect you.  karma is a mother f-----!!!!!!good luck ~
