Hi Coral, yes I'm sure losing my dad is part of this pattern-- but he didn't die, they divorced. I think my mom's rejection was a big factor too. She was just emotionally closed off to me-- present but distant if you know what I mean. I remember clamoring for her attention and affection and just not getting it, and I sort of learned to hover around silently so I could be near her but not cause trouble. She was just depressed and preoccupied, and didn't engage much with us.
But whatever the reasons, now I'm supposed to untangle this mass of negative beliefs and create new healthy, adult ones.
