Growing up, I lived in a very safe environment. Never in my life was I ever given reason to not trust my mom, dad, brother, or grandparents.

I always operated under the basic assumption that I could trust people and that they cared about my welfare.

Then I got married.

She did not treat me well.

I am now realizing that my family was abnormal. I miss being naive but I guess I could not stay that way forever.

It is like I'm having to relearn human nature.
