Apologies and uncertainty in Journaling

How do you know you can trust someone again? Especially when shit was done on both sides. I received an apology from someone from my past and I think they’re trying to make amends, but I am suspicious of intent. Not only because they hurt me, but I know I hurt them. I’m not even sure why they would want to be a part of my life again.
It’s hard to move forward when you feel like they may have a knife behind their back, metaphorically speaking. How do they know if I don’t hold on behind mine? I want to believe they mean it. I just have trust issues… I need to see some sign, some hint of honesty. Almost collateral at this point. Our trust was damaged that bad.. what can fix this?

Ask yourself what is the worst thing they can do to you and can you live with it.

This is definitely worth some thought

Do they have a history with others of fucking them over? Look into patterns of behavior. What happens if one of you betrays the other again? At times I think of contacting people from my past but...not worth it. Stress I do not need. Do you?

It’s… complicated. Without diving into all the details, I don’t think they mean to hurt others but I think they overthink and make choices on a whim when they’re usually more logical. But once emotions gets involved they can be a little hot and cold. They’re the type of person you need strong boundaries with basically, and they need time to sort their shit out.

Complicated with people sucks. Bird minds are complicated enough for me (I have 2). I hope all goes well with you. :-)
