I have the trust issue myself. I've talked around it--brought up similar subjects and have gotten responses much like you've brought up with people not listening and/or getting angry about it, which is why I've never brought up this subject itself. Once someone has blown me off that way, I can't trust them again and I tend to start avoiding them if I can. I definitely don't bring up sensitive subjects around them anymore.
I found your journal thanks to someone (can't remember who) posting a link to your what authors get wrong about the street in urban fantasy. I'm interested in what you write and especially about these subjects. I've never lived on the streets so your viewpoint informs me about that. I can also relate (in my own way) to some of your issue topics like this one about trust for different reasons (emotional abuse and neglect by divorced parents). This is why long-winded way of stating that I've added your journal to my friends page and that I hope you don't mind. If you do, tell me, and I'll remove you.
