again I grapple with this being a safe place to vent about things that I am not ready to discuss with a therapist but still need peer support....positive or not. It is not and I just do not know what to do. If I have to stop even posting here then where do I go?

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.
