Have you ever fallen for someone you knew was wrong for you? Not once or twice, but, over and over again― a perpetual cycle that you just could not seem to break? What made you stay with them? Or more importantly, if you left―what drove you to go back? I took the time to explore these behaviors and more in my inspirational book, entitled: Emotionally Unstable (Growing up without my Daddy).
Why do we use damaging things to suppress the pain we refuse to feel in our lives? Think about it: drugs, alcohol, work, food, sex, entertainment, obsessions, you name it, and we've tried them. My pain drove me into sexual promiscuity. A lighter term for multiple sex partners. I call them Band-Aids because they were never about building relationships but covering up the wounds in my heart. I was only fourteen when my childhood sweetheart promised to marry me. So, why did he break my heart and marry someone else?
Was I still Emotionally Unstable? In my book, I formed a relationship shrine that reached for the acceptance, attention, protection, affection, and admiration I longed for growing up without my daddy. But that was superficial stuff. I needed to remove the Band-Aids and get to the root cause of my problematic pain from childhood.
Take the journey with my book and find out what's on the Inside of you too!
