Communicate Your Expectations
It’s important to communicate what expectations you have of your relationships with others.
For anyone who has broken your trust, communicate what your expectations are of them moving forward. Let them know your trust in them is broken and that you need time to heal. Explain what they did to break your trust and what they can do to regain it.
When you communicate your expectations with others and they fail to meet those expectations, you have the answer you need.
