It finally hit me: my last 2 relationships were wrecked, in large part, by untreated child trauma. I’m not perfect. But I’ve been in therapy for 20 years, so I’ve done the work on my own stuff. The worst aggression I’ve ever experienced in a relationship came from women who grew up without a father (or any father figure), and had zero interest in working on it in therapy. Anyone who’s experienced both scenarios and ended up with a partner who had a healthy father figure (or who actively worked on their childhood trauma), can you share your experience? Trying to figure out if it really makes a difference when choosing a partner. submitted by /u/stay667
