My Ex-T was very protective of me and it felt tabooish because I never had anyone care that much for me to be protective. I felt bad for liking it. I also felt that if I accepted it then I would become weak and let my guards down.

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.
