If we're "pleasers" we will attract people we need to please. We look for it so we can fulfill what we believe to be our role in the relationship.

If we're rescuers, we attract those who need to be rescued, which ends up causing resentment.

I liked strong, powerful, successful men. Just like my dad. They also had his same characteristics, which wasn't a good thing but it was familiar to me. It's all I knew in a man.

We often don't think we're deserving of a good man and if we can find one that is worse off than us, it makes us feel better. That way, we don't have as much self-hatred.

After intensive therapy, I finally found a strong, powerful and successful man but he was also kind and nothing like my father.
