Mine went from responding to not responding. It sucks. I feel like scorned child who’s favorite toy was taken away. I’m a grown women and try so hard to ignore that and not email him about anything but I do and each time I feel hurt when he does not respond.
I rather him respond and hug me with words than to physically touch me.

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.
