Hi Rainbow, I don't quite understand the question. Could you elaborate a bit more on this one, if you'd be so kind?
@CaloenasNicobarica Ok good it wasn't just me who was confuzzled by the question 😊
@melliotm Does the reply I posted make more sense?
@dancingRainbow45 indeed thank you :)
@CaloenasNicobarica Hey Cal, the question really is about how having trauma issues and PTSD/CPTSD can often affect someones sense of self, self worth, value, how they dont deserve anything good, deserve to be hurt and so on and they therefore, may find it difficult to accept love eg or where trauma was mixed with love, or where they dont understand why someone would show love towards them. Each person is different. Sometimes people find themselves in unhealthy relationships whether intimate or otherwise (friends, relatives, colleagues) as a result of their history and their ptsd etc. So the question is really just about whether sometimes people find themselves in unhealthy, uncaring, unloving and or abusive relationships, or perhaps a relationship that is one sided or exploitative, instead of being give and take both parties. Some people for example re-enact past experiences, and act our how they feel about themselves in their present day relationships. Or someone who perhaps never had love, seeks that now in their relationships, making up for lost time where they do believe what happened to them was wrong and they deserve better, and so only end up in relationships with people where they know they are valued and respected. Some people are so needing love and affection that was missed previously in their life, that they will put up with and do anything just for a crumb of affection. Does this make more sense?

Thanks, Rainbow!
Yeah, it makes sense.
