adults dnt understand that romantic relationships are similar to a child’s relationship w/ a parent- it’s a bonded relationship that provides a base of security, refuge, & autonomy
so when you are hurt, mistreated, abused, abandoned etc, the affects of that relationship feel equally as harsh. Hence the emotional reaction to pain, is similar to the bond a child has w/ their parent
ppl are always quick to tell the adult “grow up” not realizing the secure base has emotionally/mentally/spiritually tarnished their peace but as an adult they have to regain all of that back... it’s not always easy to simply fix your mind or heart.
