\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Our relationships with our parents often lay the foundation for what our future romantic relationships will be like, for good or bad. It can take many forms, but we are almost always completely clueless about the connection.<\/p>\n

My mother abandoned me when I was a child and I grew up numbing myself to unconscious feelings of being unworthy of love. I ruined a number of romantic relationships and it took me many years to figure out that I was playing out that childhood drama with women I chose to love.<\/p>\n

Was I determined to push away anyone who would love me? Or did I choose women who were destined to abandon me? I understand now that I\u2018m looking for the woman who will give me the right answer when I ask, \u201cWill you abandon me, too?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
