Why???

[Rosefern]

Why am I so attracted to people and animals that have something seriously wrong with them? Is it because I want to “fix†them so badly, even though I know, deep down, that I can’t? But if I know that, why do I try so hard? Why can’t I just let them go?

Life really sucks sometimes.

Meh, join the club. With me it is not so much animals (although mine are all rescues) but men!
I am currently in therapy dealing with a lot of issue regarding this. It usually stems from something. For the first time ever I am with a decent man, but he has serious family issues. He is also in therapy.

Maybe consider finding someone to talk to about this issue, if you can find the root you can go about fixing it.

if you don't have a model for happiness it is hard to be happy. I learned that my model was drama...and so I create it when I am happy. Instead of just being happy...or I find people with drama attached to them so I can "feel at home".

I don't do that anymore, once I realized that was my deal I made a concious effort to stop. It's worked thusfar...baby steps!

Hope you can get to feeling better soon!
I'd agree...talking with a non judgemental outside party is often super helpful...so long as the therapy itself doesn't become part of the "drama" and you begin to need it just for that.
