Trust is the assured reliance on the character, ability, strength, or truth of someone or something. Trust is what is required to maintain a relationship. So everyone should be able to trust someone, right? But maybe that isn't right; maybe when the people you should be able to trust the most betray you, then all the trust that you once had disappears. When trust disappears, then life becomes a game, a game of guessing and doubting anyone and everyone you know. Once you start that game, it's hard to stop. Therefore, you spend your whole life playing that game, guessing and doubting, not being able to maintain a healthy relationship or live a normal life.

I was a 12 year-old girl who was extremely determined. I was determined to make my mother leave my dad. So one day, after coming home from my dad's girlfriend's house, I called her in her room to talk. To this day I remember exactly what I said to her: "I"m tired of seeing you mope around.
