I’m so sorry Moxie. I’m hoping you can figure out a way for some happiness and relief. My heart breaks for you.

This is just not fair. There is no way to heal my broken soul. Broken from my infant developing brain not getting needs met to now trying to get help for my brokenness to feeling like death.

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.
