People who grow up in difficult homes don't really expect too much from anyone. All they truly crave is some normalcy, stability, and a little emotional safety. Someone who won't abandon them the moment things stop looking easy or convenient. Someone they can trust, count on, and finally breathe around without constant fear. But sometimes, they fall prey to another self-centred narcissist who studies their wounds. These people sense brokenness instantly and use it as a roadmap for manipulation. When you never receive love from a family meant to protect you, you settle. You start tolerating anything just for a glimpse of affection, no matter how small. Because when love was scarce all your life, even crumbs begin to feel like comfort.
