Coping is relative to each person. Coping is being a productive member of society without disrupting others. Getting out of bed, showering, doing chores, going to work.
Now living on the other had would be planning for the future. Setting goals and setting into actions tasks to reach those goals.
When I was always planning my escape from life the long term future goals like retirement were never thought of.

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.
