I am all over the board with daydreaming about him in many different scenarios. Like we are survivors together in an apocalyptic world or he opens a wellness clinic and hires me as the massage therapist, or I become his live in assistant to the family. All sorts of crazy nonsense.
I live in my head as much as I can.

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.
