So, as many have, I have had a life time of struggles from sexual abuse to mental and physical abuse. I am stuck, not long after i met my partner of 13years i was diagnosis with bi polar. She is AMAZING and helps me t through but I can't trust. I understand love and trust go hand in hand but I am scared I am going to eventually lose her. I don't know how to trust. What do i do?

Yes, I have been together with my husband for 27 years and I still get s ared of loosing him.
It's only now, after a few years of regular counseling that I'm starting to trust him.
What worked for me was focusing every night on the good stuff that happen every day. I think that for me that was the key.
I understand were all different and I will not tell you what to do and maybe it's worth the try.
Good luck.

Good on you! I will be back on track like you one day I hope ,cause I love her but I have become nasty all because of my past. I think I have become an abuser cause I have aloud my fears to control all she does. This is not me and I am scared. The fight to rid these insecurities is bigger than anything I have had to overcome and there's been some really bad things to overcome. I found love and I am just ruining something so very and truely amazing.
Thank you again.
