"Children cannot comprehend or process that the very people meant to protect them (your mother) may harm them. Children cannot accept this without enduring some heavy cognitive dissonance and intense pain. So children (you) bond with the person who harms you to survive. This bond reduces that cognitive dissonance and helps you to cope with the reality of the abuse. This is how abused children survive in childhood, but in adulthood, it becomes a maladaptive coping mechanism." This is the root of the trauma bond" Shahida Arabi - Healing the Adult Children of Narcissists
