Re: Why do people do crazy things in love?

[(Anonymous)]

I have some sad personal insight into this. My boyfriend's parents got divorced when he was maybe 5 years old. His father remarried and moved out of state and his mother went on to have boyfriends/husbands who were physically/emotionally abusive, stole from her and straight up did not like my bf even though he was just a kid. Bf says they didn't hurt him, but he lived in that house like he didn't even have a mother, she was too busy with her boyfriends.

In this case, obviously bf's mother has issues of her own. She has terrible self esteem but she's desperate for someone to love her. Having a child who loved and needed her was something she really wanted, but it wasn't enough, which is why she dated so many guys. But she's really needy and insecure which meant that not only did she have difficulty keeping a healthy relationship with a nice person, she attracted predators because she was so vulnerable. She was so desperate to be with someone that she'd overlook their drug use, jail time, violent tendencies the fact that they hated her kid, whatever. They abused her as well, but she felt like she deserved it and that this was how a relationship worked.

It got to the point where even in her 50s, she finds nice guys "boring". To her, love is "exciting" in the sense that it's with a man who has bad habits, will prove that he loves her by being controlling and jealous. When men behave badly, it doesn't bother her as much as it might someone who's known what a functional, healthy relationship looks like.

And bf? Back when he was 10, she shipped him off to his father because her boyfriend of the moment didn't want him around. She chose a violent asshole over her own son, rationalizing that bf was better off somewhere else anyway but there's no denying that a big part of her reasoning was that she'd finally have her boyfriend, no obligations, and no kid to "spoil" what she felt would be a good relationship. Because hey, if the kid that annoys her boyfriend was gone, her boyfriend would be a better, less angry person, right?

Nope.
