Dreamer,
I have a similar problem. My doctor tells me that there is growing thought that traumatized people become *addicted to their own chemicals*...over years and years of trauma (abuse) the brain secretes opiates to numb and calm the victim...and after awhile, the person will unconsciously and repeatedly put him or herself into unsavory (abusive) situations to recreate the opiate-releasing numbing effect.
love,
sar
