Each child differs obviously...some children are just very calm naturally....and some are very hyper...as he gets older it could reflect in his personality more.

Answer to:
How do you trust someone who has consistently broken that trust?
I think the key word is "consistently" which means the action keeps repeating itself. This is when you take a look at the situation and realize the person is not ever going to change, and understanding that you cannot change them.
For the sake of having a healthy mindset when it comes to relationships it would be unwise to force yourself to trust someone like that.

I think you should reflect on why you are willing to put up with someone like that, while you might still love him those actions don't say that he loves you.
