I am not sure a t with a secure attachment would understand the deep longing we have and the deep needs we have from them . I know my own t had an insecure attachment but gets my needs and wants. She understands because she has been through the same things I have. Asia please don't do what others do and shame yourself because that would be a tragedy. You are entitled to feel like you do and only you know what you have been through and what you need to heal from it

Thanks, I don't feel ashamed of it, or at least the shame has reduced greatly. In times when I feel shame about it I remind myself that this isn't my fault and that I am doing the best I can. I know that my reactions are all just a product of my history and I won't feel this way forever.
