It sounds like you experienced abuse, but not from your family.

The abuse you experienced caused you to retreat and ultimately become lonely.

Then the loneliness led you to act in a co-dependent manner.

So abuse -> withdraw -> lonely -> act co-dependent -> attract more abuse

How accurate is the above?
