I wish I never started therapy. I now know what it feels like to have this type of relationship and I will always ache for it, it will feel like a whole in my soul, but never being able to duplicate it with a person outside the therapy room. I do not feel it is on the same lines as "It is better to have love and lost then never to have loved at all.

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.
