So I often see other people with trauma from their mothers talk about deeply craving/seeking out a mother figure in their lives, but did anyone else end up the complete opposite?

Like, I want nothing to do with maternal figures of any kind. People being "motherly" around me makes me physically recoil.

I'm pretty sure it's statistically impossible that this is a "just me" thing, but I never see anyone else discuss having a similar response so I'm curious.

#tbh it's most likely a side-effect of my own mother's tendency growing up #to switch from being affectionate and understanding one week to verbally and physically abusive the next #idk maybe I'm subconsciously feeling like I'm being lured into a false sense of security and whatnot #tw abuse implied #mommy issues #childhood trauma #complex ptsd #trauma #tw child abuse #tw mommy issues #tw abuse #cw abuse #cw trauma #cw childhood trauma
