Maybe it is because everyone's idea of success is different. I feel because I have made it 13 days bulimic free(with no desire at all to purge)that I am successful in this moment. What does recovery look like to you? I am going to have to take the idea of recovery in small successful pieces.

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.
