Therapy has not knocked this out of me. I still hate the human race and continue to have issues with empathy/sympathy. I have no trust that someone will be there for me when support is needed and everyone is out for themselves and really only will help you if you have something in return to offer them.
Another thing about having utterly crazy parents is that, well, I never had anyone's belief system instilled in me. I never imprinted.
The exploration of who I am, versus what someone wanted me to be, has been awesome.

I still can not figure out who I am an need someone to tell me what I am suppose to do or what I should believe in.

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.
