Ox waxwing You’re describing traumatic bonding to a T. The brain responds to kindness after cruelty with a cascade of chemicals like dopamine. There’s a ton of info about traumatic bonding on the net and in books about abusive and battering. It’s NOT a character flaw that pulls you back. It’s your brain. It’s so important for everybody to understand this so we understand why people have such a hard time getting away even when those outside can see it all so clearly. Think of it as a hit of heroin after starting to withdraw. It’s essentially the same chemical experience only more complex. I hope better understanding with take away the confusion and disgust so many people in battering relationships experience from people who haven’t experienced traumatic bonding
