wow...Expanding....that explains a lot, doesn't it.....?
Yeah, while all us humans feel pain at rejection from someone that we have bonded to....it does look like your your ex is a compounding extension of your childhood pain......

***now, this is just an observation of mine....but, I think that what some people lable as rebellion (because it looks like that)....is really just the seeking of comfort and acceptance of peers who we feel won't reject us.....smoking, drinking, sex, sneaking out to be with others...is mostly relationship oriented...seeking others....
Isn't it really just human to want to be in the company of others who accept us unconditionally..?
(anything I say...you can just kick to the curb if it doesn't apply)
