I grew up in a family where maybe 1 of my 2 parents were around at any given time. To deal with this and other hardships, my mother turned to physically beating me.

Years later and with continuation, I finally came clean as visible bruises rose questions at school. The family went to counseling where my mom denied everything and my dad abandoned me because of this "lie" .. I was hated in my family.

Eventually my mom came out and since then, we've been trying to fix things, but I cannot trust my mother or my father. I have developed a fear of being abandoned and though I love my SO, sometimes I feel I am around too much because she's the only person I can rely on (usually).

Though we've had trust issues, the main source of my trust issues with people who say they love me is from my parents. I know that she loves me as she's still with me and we're pretty serious. Even though I know she loves me, our past issues and my general disbelief that I could be loved and trust someone who loves me gets in the way sometimes. In general I feel like I'm a decent enough boyfriend to her, but this is definitely an issue.

I have trust issues and family issues that can be caused by abuse. I want to fix them, but I can't trust anyone anymore and
