Unfortunately is was someone on here PC that said it. You would think they have been stigmatized enough in their own pliet to know that calling any serious mental illness a "habit" would be ignorant, invalidating and hurtful.

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.
