One of the recent tortured conversations revealed that M often sleeps in the master BR closet when I'm away. She said, "Do you realize that when you're not here, I usually sleep in the closet?"
Wow..... Between that and the other recreations of her childhood traumas, I am absolutely bejiggered.
I really think she needs to talk to her T about this stuff.
I have figured out that she often will engage negatively until I get angry, repeating the trauma of her mother's emotional outbursts.
This business with being scared of the dark and of sleeping in the closet is also surely another repeat of trauma bonds. Her brother was cruel in many ways, locking her into closets and attics and sharing her child-self with his friends for sexual acts.
