Can a person learn to trust again after they’ve been burned many times?

Asked by Jons_Blond (8253points) January 28th, 2020 from iPhone

I’ve lost trust in relationships. Not with my husband, children or parents, but everyone else. Siblings and close friends have hurt me terribly the past few years.

Tonight a close friend of mine involved my son in a squabble we were having. My last straw is involving children.

Two years ago I estranged myself from my sister because she involved my son in our squabble, just a week after my son returned from the hospital after a stay for suicidal ideation. She broke my son’s heart. I don’t understand how adults can be so petty and selfish to involve children in their drama.

I’ve given up. I don’t want to get close to anyone. I’m tired of getting hurt.
