What do you do when someone breaks your trust in them? Is there a way to regain it? Should it be regained? How do you learn to trust anyone again?

Is the offer for memory erasure... s-still open?

They did apologize. They said they were sorry. They said I was like family.

But how can you treat family like that?

Text;

[sonofab]

They shouldn't but family will do things you don't desire if they believe it's best for you.
What this person did, didn't benefit or help you.
They did it to satisfy their own selfish curiosity.
To call say you are like family after the fact sounds like attempted manipulation.
Cutting ties sounds best.

Manipulation? You really think so?

Text;

[sonofab]

Of course I do! It's a classic manipulation tactic.

[naughty_nurse]

I don't want to think they'd do that. But then I didn't think they'd break a promise either.

If you know this person as well as you claim, then you know the answer to that.
When you stop and think.
What do you truly believe?

[naughty_nurse]

Right now the only thing I believe is that it could happen all over again with anyone.

It will.
People betray each other all the time.
You just have to learn to better protect yourself from it.
Not start crying, because tears solve nothing.

[And indeed, she is crying.]

How do I protect myself better? How do I put up my guard?

...Trust no one.

How long did it take you do to that?

[sonofab]

I was about 10 when I figured it but, it did take me longer than it should've.
