Dear BB:

Your post before last was on Feb 13. Following that, I responded to you and another member responded twice. Your last post focused entirely on the other member’s posts to you. I learned something from this last post of yours that may help you:

My last post to you was positively supportive of you. But you responded only to the two posts that were negatively critical of you. I am thinking that you may very well be focusing in your life, outside this website, on people who are negatively critical of you, being drawn to relationships with those who are not supportive of you, and you might not be drawn to people who are supportive of you.

It may be that repetition- compulsion, that is, you trying to change non-supportive and/or rejecting people into loving people, seeing in them the rejecting parent in your childhood, the one (or both) that you are hoping to win over.

Can this be so?
