Trust is something that builds overtime and can be destroyed with one betrayal. It is not a factor of love and just because we're being supportive of their recovery doesnt mean we have to automatically trust them. I find addicts to have very short term memory. They manipulate us by saying if we love them and support them we will trust them but they dont want us to remember the facts that killed the trust in the first place. They want us to walk through life with blinders on. They'll say why dont you trust me - but then when you tell them they claim you're throwing the past in their faces. They just dont want to hear the truth - that they are at fault for destroying the trust we had in them.
