My ex-T would toss pillows at me that I had to toss back and forth. Then I had to answer questions like how many pictures were on the wall or how many lamps were in the room or read him the titles of books on the shelf.

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.
