I survived an attempt in my late 30's and to this day I regret failing. Life mentally has been nothing but a struggle, I am miserable all day long and I keep waiting for something great to come along that made living all worth it. Everyday I keep saying..."Oh I survived for this?" or "Tell me why again I need to stay alive?". I have no children to anchor me here. Honestly the only reason I am above ground is because of the slightest chance hell actually exists.

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.
