The key is finding someone I actually want to talk to and share things with like I do my T. I do not have that kind of intimacy with my husband.......I married him for every other reason than love. Mainly safety so I use T as a surrogate in all areas.

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.
