One day I was reading a post and the replies when I cam across reply that resonated with me and was very eloquent. When I looked at who wrote it I was shocked to see it was me! I just stared at it in disbelief as I have no memory of it. I went back into all my post to read them, some from 3 years ago, and there are many I can not believe I wrote.

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.
