We often hear about learning lessons – but just as important is unlearning lessons. Have you ever had to unlearn a lesson?
You are trustworthy and untrustworthy people I have to learn to trust again . I felt as if No one was Trustworthy mean I was supposed to feel safe at school. The one place I should have been protected.
