Idk abt that it’s more that I just try and be very cautious in avoiding certain traits I know my mother has when looking for someone. I’ve kinda moved past the trauma now and forgiven her while recognizing she is and will continue being a flawed person that gave birth to and raised me. I also grew up with an older sister that went through the same stuff so ik there are other normal women I can behave differently around and actually trust

i think it depends on the person. one of my friends had an abusive mother and he’s way too trusting of women now. but i see where you’re getting this from and think thats true too

It can vary. You see some men not trusting women after that, but you do also see men then doing whatever they can to seek praise from women/find a woman to fill the void their mother left
