Dinah,
How do you generalize trust? I don't think that is possible or even necessarily a goal for me, at least. I certainly don't trust very many people but I do trust a few. In therapy I 'm learning to communicate better by understanding my feelings, so the people I let into my life know the real me. If they know me and let me know them, then there is a basis for trust (unless, of course, when I get to know them I find out they are despicable). Maybe this is too simplistic.
One thing you know, is that for you it takes a lot of history to establish trust. I bet the quality of the trust is pretty extraordinary, though.
