I think it has everything to do with attachment and dependence, especially if that was lacking in a person's childhood.



This statement just really hit home for me. I know that there was very little attachment in my childhood, and I was forced to be independant at a very young age. Now I find myself easily attaching to anyone who shows me some kindness or security.

This has made for some very bad relationship choices. Presently, my T and I have developed a good relationship. She wants me to work through my problems without becoming dependant on her. She wants me to think for myself, and learn. At first I was quite hurt by that, but I see how I need to work through my stuff and not become too dependant. Being independant for so long has made me become too dependant.
