Re: how do you?
Ira, I'm not going to say I'm sorry this happened to you. If anything, Allah has saved you from something that could have been 10 times worse than a broken engagement. Count your blessings that you found out what type of person he and his family were before you became trapped.
Whatever happens usually happens for a reason. Allah mian saved you Ira.
As for trust, I am sure it is going to take a lot of time to get through this. Whatever you do, take your time and don't rush or force yourself into situations where you are trying to trust someone. It will take time and come naturally to you. Right now, you have been wounded deeply. Give yourself time to heal before even contemplating trusting anybody else. Surround yourself by your family and loved ones. They will help you through this.
