Do your others also you "I" in relation to themselves? (Not that it means anything or a positive or negative answer will have any relevance, just curious).

I have a few times in therapy said "we" instead of I. He did not even bat an eye over it.

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.
