You can have both.
A trauma bond so poweful that even when you mom abuses you, you still don’t wanna let go because being alone is anxiety inducing.

Emotional ambivalence isn’t only normal, it’s healthy. I love my partner for being my friend and supporter, but have also felt genuine hatred due to them not doing the work necessary to be a good spouse, leading to us separating.
The trauma bond is a bit different, though. It’s unhealthy ambivalence, where even the positive feelings are ultimately rooted in strongly negative behavior. I had one with my father, so I get it.

I remember when I was a kid, I used to cuddle with my mom, but now I think she just secretly despise me because I’m not young and cuddly anymore 😢
