Interesting to have had my ability to trust others systematically destroyed. Funny how people, subjected to some unpleasant process, so often feel compelled to experiment with reproducing its effects in others. Probably not the best test subject, never been a trusting sort & near total indifference to most everything makes producing a reasonable simulacrum of trust a fairly simple exercise, imagine I could work one up if it seemed called for. So, something which in one person has a totally devastating effect on her ability to live a satisfying life, in my case has effects which are, quite honestly, for the most part, pretty subtle, barely noticeable if I'm not actively pointing them out. Suppose that could be instructive, best of luck with your research.

Light rain is falling, spent some time wandering around with Peretz in it, wishing it were snow.
