There is no need to apologise. I did say I hardly expect you to simply trust me, did I not?

There is much about what you have done that it might seem one with my history should hate. But regardless even of any other reasons I have to think you are right, I hardly need any reason. It is not being done to me, so why should I care?

You are the ones I care about, so why would I not support you, even if it did somehow bother me?
