Definition: Love Addict

"Painful attention, which is the attention that will result in negative consequences, was normal to me. Although I did not like the consequence of suffering, at least the pain was always consistent. “Pain” could always be counted on to arrive at my door and I would more than willingly receive it with open arms. So why would I waste my time waiting on good things to come in my life when I was the only one always standing myself up and leaving me out to dry? So I dated “Pain” for years. In the beginning “Pain” hurt me but, like most relationships, you get used to it and become numb to its negative antics.

Like a battered woman, I was in an abusive relationship with “Pain.” Even though I didn’t like the name calling, the punishment, or the spankings from my mother I was mentally bound and couldn’t leave. Like a kidnapped child with Stockholm syndrome, I developed a bond with my captor called “Pain”. I became its Bonnie and it was my Clyde."
