People who grew up in broken, dysfunctional homes don’t have big dreams. They dream of stability. Of a home that feels safe, quiet, and warm. Of waking up and knowing no one is going to leave. Their biggest wish isn’t luxury, it’s peace. Consistency. A love that doesn’t punish, abandon, or destroy.
They learned to stop asking for too much. Because when they were young, asking for attention got them ignored. Asking for help got them shamed. So now, as adults, they dream in survival terms: “I just want a place I can breathe.” “I just want someone who won’t leave.” Their idea of success is emotional safety.
It’s why they cling harder, love deeper, and fear loss so intensely. Because their roots were shaken before they ever had a chance to grow. They didn’t get taught how to regulate emotions or form healthy attachments, they had to teach themselves how to stay alive in emotional chaos.

So when you meet someone like this, offer patience. Offer consistency. Offer presence. Because they’re not broken. They’re just rebuilding a home within themselves, a home that no one can take away again.
