You have to make sure that you make it clear that you are not out to hurt them and that you care about them. Realize they have been hurt in the past and have them gain trust in you.

Loving someone that has been hurt can be difficult. It requires a lot of patience and understanding. The person who has been hurt will be very slow to trust, and there will be fits and starts. You have to be ready to take things slowly and accept gradual progress.

That depends on the type of harm. If they were sexually or physically abused, help them seek counseling to rebuild themselves and their lives. If it was emotional abuse, seek counseling together so that they do not act in ways that drive you away.

Let them know you are there for them always. Tell them that they are not and will never be alone. Someone who is hurting needs to know they are still loved and accepted. Always be there for them, always.
