I have been in and out of college 4 times for all different things. Still can't figure out what I want to be when I grow up and I am 46. No drive, no passion, no enthusiasm just the need to fiercely protect my safety bubble I have created. I have a husband(second one) I have been married 11 years and it works because he always found my crazy mood swings entertaining and he always seems to know how to untrigger me.

When a child’s emotional needs are not met and a child is repeatedly hurt and abused, this deeply and profoundly affects the child’s development. Wanting those unmet childhood needs in adulthood. Looking for safety, protection, being cherished and loved can often be normal unmet needs in childhood, and the survivor searches for these in other adults. This can be where survivors search for mother and father figures. Transference issues in counseling can occur and this is normal for childhood abuse survivors.
