in other words, the question needs clarification.
Interesting answer and it kind of goes along with my thoughts in that there are people I would trust in specific situations or purposes, but not really across-the-board. For instance: I trust my parents in many things, but I also know their failings - and I don't think they'd intentionally betray a confidence, but I think they might let something slip. I trust my wife with many things, but she's bad with money. Do I think she'd intentionally bankrupt us? Nope, but I do think her carelessness could get the best of her and, by extension, us.
So, do I trust their intentions? Sure. Do I trust their actions? Ehm, most of the time, but not always.
