He was not asking me to remember anything he was asking me at each age if I felt I deserved to be taken care of and loved. I agreed any baby, me or otherwise deserved to be taken care of as they are not bad or evil but helpless but when we creeped up to age 4 that feeling of deserving stops.

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.
