I see this all the time and the key issue with falling for people because you perceive them to be wounded, is aside from having your own issues with control, it’s that you make dangerous assumptions about the person, almost because you pity them and believe that they ‘need’ you to fix/heal/help them and add whatever is missing to their lives.

I knew when the up/down guy said "I need you" - I was in trouble.
Ick. How did I get HERE?
I didn't want to FIX anyone! I don't have healing power.
That was our last break up.
I still miss him.
I thought I fell...but it was just the connection to dysfunction.
I remember the dysfunction.
I woke up.
Amen to that.
ReplyDeleteYep. There's some strange comfort in dysfunction when it's all you've known. Good that you woke up!
