rs,
My response will be brief, but only because I can't put more words than this together today.
You have been through so much both in your early life and recently. Sometimes it is so painful that you want to give up, to run away. But right now I read a strength in your post. Determination to do what you need to do even though it is painful. Perhaps that is the "strong independent person you used to be". I think that when our trust is violated when we are small, that *allowing* ourselves to be needy and taken care of takes amazing courage. You are doing that. You are doing what you need to be doing.
Let yourself acknowledge the hurt, and let yourself be taken care of (by your therapist, your husband, us, friends). It's not a weakness - it's being human. I wish we could *remove* the hurt for you, but I'm afraid that all we can do is keep you company, so you are not alone with the hurt.
