Almost all of my meaningful relationships were all based on trauma bonds. All with the same trauma at the base, and the same dynamics.
I had a situation where the source of what my prior relationships were based on that was so extreme, that it opened my eyes, and it helped me see the extrapolated version of that, and how that is unsustainable.
My next relationship was the first that was a healthy relatonship based on a healthy bond. And that relationship also was very crucial in me coming to terms with my being Laura all along.
In that relationship, for the first time, I felt accepted and safe. Something that I had never felt prior to that.
